Harlem Bespoke: We have written so many stories in the past decade and forget that a lot of folks have since started following the blog and some of them are worth revisiting. Back in 2010, we first noticed the friary in West 142nd Street located between Broadway and Hamilton Place and did some research to see what it was all about. A reader added on some context and mentioned a little more on the history of the unique Hamilton Heights address:
In 1892 the Cenacle Sisters from France moved into the building. In 1916 it was sold to the Felician Sisters. At some point it was a Cursillo retreat center, run by the Augustinian Fathers who lived next door at 521. We Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (franciscanfriars.com) moved in the summer of 1996.
Check what other folks from the neighborhood had to say about the friary in our past post:
