St. Thomas Roman Catholic Church, 1923. The church was built in 1908-1909 as a small wood-frame mission church for the larger nearby parish of St. Elizabeth's. It became its own institution in 1910. In 1914 the parishioners numbered 2700 and growing. Founded by a German community and clergy, the current church building, built in 1921, was constructed in the style of a Bavarian country church. The brick church building has colorful terra cotta banding and medallions on the front facade and a onion shaped copper spire.

My Archive Summer 2019 “I moved to NYC in 1986. As a World's Fair buff I often went out to the grounds in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. One time I was with a friend and we stopped here in Woodhaven to walk around a little, explore the neighborhood. I've also been in the habit since the 1970s of photographing old buildings, and quirky signage. This bar caught my eye, and I felt especially fortunate to capture the sign with one lone figure in front of it, she just walked by as I was looking through the viewfinder, adding a little narrative to the image.” —Meredith Marciano

87th Street and Atlantic Avenue
Woodhaven Railroad Station A view east along the south side of Atlantic Avenue from the Long Island Rail Road crossing at 87th Street. Several figures are seen on the tracks and near the Woodhaven station platform. Advertising bills pasted to the buildings at right promote auto races at Cedarhurst, the Mineola Fair, Jamaica Day and motion pictures at the Loews Willard theater at 96-01 Jamaica Avenue, Woodhaven. The small street sign on the utility pole in the foreground right clearly reads " 87th Street", but also includes, in smaller letters, it's former designation, "Benedict Ave".
