Few interiors from the outer boroughs of New York City in this period survive, which makes this view of Our Lady of Grace Roman Catholic Church in Howard Beach, Queens, useful. The photograph is undated beyond its span between 1900 and 1950, a period when Howard Beach was still largely farmland and marsh before rapid residential growth. Parish churches in neighborhoods like this one often served families from Irish, Italian, and German backgrounds, and their interiors reflected both modest means and devotion. The print is part of the Wittemann Collection in the Library of Congress.
