The parish of St. Vincent Ferrer was founded in 1867 and today occupies its second building on the same site. Run by the Dominicans, or Order of Preachers, the first building, once described as a "Gothic barn," was built from 1867-69 as designed by Patrick C. Keely. The adjacent convent, designed by William Schickel and built in 1881, still stands on the corner of 65th Street.
The present building, completed in 1918 and modeled after European Gothic churches, was designed by Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, one of the foremost American ecclesiastical architects of the early 20th century. After the building was completed, a panel of architects charged with selecting the 50 most beautiful U.S. churches voted St. Vincent Ferrer the second most beautiful (the first-place winner, St. Thomas Church on Fifth Avenue, was also a creation of Mr. Goodhue). However, Goodhue considered St. Vincent Ferrer to be his best work. Exterior limestone carvings by Lee Lawrie and interior fixtures that were initially incomplete because of lack of funds were subsequently completed according to Goodhue's plans. The building is a federal landmark, and was also designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1967. |

| The organ in St. Vincent Ferrer has evolved over the years from several origins. In 1990, James Konzelman rebuilt the gallery organ of three manuals and 30 ranks. Then, in 1998, Schantz Organ added 18 ranks (Opus 2145) in the chancel and provided a new movable four-manual console which controlled gallery and chancel divisions. In 2002, Schantz installed a new gallery organ (Opus 2224) of 68 ranks and an entirely new movable four-manual console in the chancel. |

Fratelli Balbiani
Milan, Italy (1925)
Electro-pneumatic action
Divided organ with 65 stops, 87 ranks
Movable 5-manual console in chancel
2-manual console in gallery
One of the more unusual organs in New York City was the five-manual instrument installed in 1926 at St. Vincent Ferrer by the Fratelli Balbiani firm of Milan, Italy. Two consoles were provided: a five-manual movable console in the chancel and an "extra" two-manual console in the gallery choir loft. The consoles included 55 luminous signals, an Automatic Transposer, plus three pistons for "automatic pedal combination." Numerous ventils and cancels augmented the organ's five general pistons. On May 9, 1926, the organ was blessed by Bishop John J. Dunn, followed by a musical program played by Pietro Yon, honorary organist of the Vatican, and Constantino Yon, organist and choirmaster of the church.
This organ was removed in 1958, and the five-manual console is extant in Brooklyn. |

Tubular-pneumatic action

The organ in the previous church building was built in 1874 by Hilborne L. Roosevelt of New York City. This was Roosevelt's third three-manual to be built by the firm. Roosevelt used tubular action for the Swell and Pedal organs, and the pneumatic (Barker) lever was applied to the Great organ and its couplers. The organ measured 32 feet across, 18 feet deep, and nearly 40 feet high. |
