Church in Manhattan, New York
About
The Church of the Holy Communion and Buildings are historic former Episcopal church buildings at 656–662 Avenue of the Americas (Sixth Avenue) at West 20th Street in the Flatiron District of Manhattan, New York City. A pioneering work of American Gothic Revival, the church served as an Episcopal parish from its construction in 1845 to its closure in 1975. The buildings have since been used for a number of different purposes, most famously as the New York City location of The Limelight nightclub from 1983 to 2003. It currently houses a gym.
The church is a New York City landmark, designated in 1966, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It is located within New York City's Ladies' Mile Historic District.
