Imposing in mass, striking in appearance and in form, this impressive Church occupies a prominent Park Avenue site where it sits enthroned in all its splendor. One of the most striking features of St. Bartholomew’s is its polychromy produced by the attractive blending of salmon colored brick with greyish limestone, marble, and tiles of various hues. The inspiration for the dome is undoubtedly Byzantine and derives more particularly from adaptations of the Byzantine style in Venice.
