Шаблон:Infobox Historic building The Church of the Assumption is a former Roman Catholic parish church under the authority of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, located at 427 West 49th Street in Manhattan, New York City.[1]

History

The parish was established in 1858 by Father Raffeiner, for German Catholics on the Upper West Side. The cornerstone of a new larger church building on W 49th St. was laid by Archbishop John Hughes on May 1, 1859, and was dedicated on December 4 of that year. The church basement served as a school and parish hall until 1873, when a school was erected under pastor Ströhle. The school, which in 1914 had about 450 pupils, was staffed by the School Sisters of Notre Dame, whose convent was on 49th St.[2]

In October 1910 Reverend John P. Neumann became pastor. The Assumption Lyceum, a club for the young men of the parish, was built under his direction.[2]
