The Church of St. Vincent Ferrer, a Gothic Revival structure on the Upper East Side of Manhattan at the corner of Lexington Avenue and East 66th Street, was built in 1918 by the Dominicans, with an attached priory serving as headquarters for the Eastern United States Province. Designed by William Schickel (with the church building completed in 1918), it features distinctive architectural elements including one of the few exterior Crucifixion statues on an American Catholic church and Stations of the Cross rendered in oil paintings rather than statuary. The interior houses two Schantz pipe organs. Designated a New York City landmark in 1967 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, the church has been called "one of New York's greatest architectural adornments." The grounds include St. Vincent Ferrer High School for girls, administered by resident Dominican Sisters engaged in charitable work and interfaith advocacy.
