This is St. Bartholomew's Episcopal church (commonly just called St. Bart's) on Park Avenue between 50th and 51st. It was built in 1903 and has the largest pipe organ in New York (and one of the ten largest in the world). I heard it when my daughter Kate got to sing here once years ago—St. Bart's (famous) children's choir was traveling one Sunday and the young choristers of St. Luke's (in the West Village) were asked to step in.
