Vicarage of the Chapel of the Intercession

540 West 155th Street, New York, NY

History and architecture

The Vicarage is an integral part of the group of buildings adjoining the Chapel of the Intercession. The building is a spacious house connected to the Chapel by a handsome cloister surrounding a small inner courtyard. It is constructed of the same materials as the Chapel, but whereas the Chapel is basically Perpendicular Gothic, the Vicarage is a fine expression in stone of domestic Tudor architecture.
