OUR LADY of GOOD COUNSEL RC CHURCH(1886) 230 East 90th Street New York, N.Y. 10128 Ph: 212. 682. 5722 http://olgcny.org/ PHOTO http://www.nycago.org/Organs/NYC/img/OurLadyGoodCounselGal1.jpg In the 1870s and 1880s, following the Civil War, the city's residents began to move northward, leaving the congested and noisy downtown area. The construction of elevated trains along Second and Third Avenues enticed many to Yorkville, which extends from 59th to 96th Street, and from the East River to Fifth Avenue. German families and immigrants, along with a large group of Irish, were particularly attracted to Yorkville. Brownstones and tenements were built for the laborers who worked at the Ehret's and Ruppert's breweries, or who crossed the East River at 92nd Street for an easy ferry ride to the Steinway Piano Factory in Queens. The influx of Catholics soon overflowed Yorkville's primary church, St. Lawrence O'Toole (now St. Ignatius Loyola), founded in 1851 on East 84th Street. New churches were established by the Archdiocese, including St. Monica's (1879) on East 79th, St. Jean Baptiste (1882) on Lexington Avenue at East 76th Street, Our Lady of Good Counsel (1886) on East 90th Street, St. Joseph's (1888) on East 87th Street, St. Elizabeth of Hungary (1891) on East 83rd Street, and St. Stephen of Hungary (1902) on East 82nd Street. Thomas H. Poole designed the Church of Our Lady of Good Counsel, which was completed in 1892. Its stone exterior is notable for crenellated coping and turrets which echo those found on the Calvary Squadron A Armory (designed by John R. Thomas in 1888-90) on Madison Avenue between 94th and 95th Streets. Inside, the ornate and spacious interior is decorated with lacy gothic details, galleries on three sides, and beautiful stained glass windows. excerpted from.... http://www.nycago.org/Organs/NYC/html/OurLadyGoodCounsel.html -----Original Message----- From: Pat Lewis <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, Sep 3, 2015 10:08 pm Subject: I NEED A PHONE NUMBER I AM HOPING YOU WILL BE KIND ENOUGH TO SEND ME THE NYC PHONE NUMBER FOR OUR LADY OF GOOD COUNSEL ON E. 92ND ST IN MANHATTAN… I TRIED 4 11 GOT 2 DIFFERENT NUMBERS NEITHER FOR THE CHURCH OFFICE…..

Most of my Irish relatives move around like crazy. One family had eight addresses in 20 years, all in Yorkville. I always suspect there was either a glut of apartments or they kept running out on past due rents.
