Our Building

Opened in 1914, our Classical Revival building was designed by the Boston firm Maginnis & Walsh, which specialized in work for Roman Catholic institutions. The architects planned the five-story limestone building around a central courtyard to provide a quiet, secluded place for students, and in 2010, work was completed on a 20,000-square-foot green roof. A plaque placed by the New York Landmarks Preservation Foundation in 2014 notes that the building "demonstrates the successful adaptation of Classical design to a modern building, and is one of the most dignified school buildings in the city."
