A snapshot in time: The Little Church Around the Corner, New York City, 1944 This evocative photograph captures the quaint and historic Little Church Around the Corner, located on East 12th Street in New York City. Built in 1848, this Roman Catholic Church has been a beacon of faith and spiritual refuge for generations of New Yorkers. The image, taken in 1944, shows a serene scene of the church's exterior, with its distinctive red brick façade and tall, arched windows. The peaceful setting is juxtaposed by the presence of several vintage automobiles parked along the street, including a 1930 Chrysler, a 1939-1940 Pontiac, a 1940 Willys Overland, and a 1960-1969 Oldsmobile. The photograph also reveals a glimpse of the church's interior through an open window, where one can see the altar and the beautiful stained glass window depicting the Transfiguration of Christ. This momentary peek into the sacred space adds a deeper layer of meaning to the photograph, emphasizing the enduring role of faith and worship in people's lives, even amidst the chaos and turmoil of the world outside. The photograph also serves as a reminder of a bygone era, when horse-drawn carriages and streetcars were gradually being replaced by automobiles. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to reflect on the rich history and enduring traditions of this beloved New York City landmark. Bernard Lamotte, the photographer, captured this moment with a sense of reverence and appreciation, preserving it for future generations to enjoy and be inspired by.
