Holy Trinity Chapel
Holy Trinity Chapel is the primary component of the Catholic Center at New York University. The chapel, which faced Washington Square Park, was the gift of the Generoso Pope family, publisher of Il Progresso Italo-Americano. Eggers & Higgins designed the Catholic Center complex, which was built from 1961-64. The stained-glass windows, reredos and furnishings were designed by Earl C. Neiman.
In 2004, the large chapel congregation merged with nearby St. Joseph's Church, located at 371 Avenue of the Americas and Washington Place, becoming The University Parish of St. Joseph. The NYU Catholic Center continued to operate in facilities directly south of the chapel.
In 2009, the property was purchased by NYU and the chapel and Catholic Center were razed to make way for a new building. |

Delaware Organ Company, Inc.
Tonawanda, N.Y. (1964)
Electro-pneumatic action
3 manuals, 29 registers, 24 stops, 32 ranks
The organ in Holy Trinity Chapel was built c.1964 by the Delaware Organ Company of Tonawanda, N.Y. As installed on either side of the large reredos at the front of the chapel, the organ greatly benefited from the reverberant acoustic of the room. The movable three-manual drawknob console was positioned in the chancel. In 2009, the organ was dismantled by Meloni & Farrier Organbuilders and put into storage, awaiting restoration and future placement. |
