St. Jude's Protestant Episcopal Chapel was a mission to African-Americans that was run by nearby St. Michael's Church. Ludlow & Peabody designed the chapel that was built in 1921. The chapel was demolished in the 1950s to make way for Park West Village, an Urban Renewal project directed by Robert Moses.
