Trinity Chapel Complex
About this property
The Trinity Chapel Complex, now known as the Saint Sava Serbian Orthodox Church (Serbian: Српска православна црква Светог Саве, romanized: Srpska pravoslavna crkva Svetog Save) is a historic Eastern Orthodox church located at 15 West 25th Street between Broadway and the Avenue of the Americas (6th Avenue) in the NoMad neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It is under jurisdiction of the Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Eastern America of the Serbian Orthodox Church and is dedicated to Saint Sava, the first Archbishop of the Serbian Orthodox Church. The church building was constructed in 1850–55 and was designed by architect Richard Upjohn in English Gothic Revival style. It was built as one of several uptown chapels of the Trinity Church parish, but was sold to the Serbian Orthodox parish in 1942, re-opening as the Saint Sava Serbian Orthodox Church in 1944. The church complex includes the Trinity Chapel School, now the church's Parish House, which was built in 1860 and was designed by Jacob Wrey Mould, a polychromatic Victorian Gothic building which is Mould's only extant structure in New York City. Attached to the sanctuary itself is the Clergy House at 26 West 26th Street, which was built in 1866 and was designed by Richard Upjohn and his son Richard M. Upjohn. The chapel was designated a New York City landmark in 1968, and the complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Most of the church was destroyed in a four-alarm fire on May 1, 2016. As of 2023, reconstruction had advanced enough for a liturgy to be held within the shell of the partially rebuilt church.
