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
