St Bartholomew's Church

St Bartholomew's Church , which is popularly known as St Bart's, is an Episcopal Church in the Upper Midtown neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It is housed in a Byzantine structure of pinkish brick with ornate details. The church, located at 109 East 50th Street, has an open terrace and a polychromed gold dome.

St Bartholomew's Church was built in 1919. The original design was done by Bertram Goodhue. The design had to be modified so as to accommodate the French Romaneque entrance portico brought over from the previous church which was on Madison Avenue. The entrance portico were paid for by the family of Cornelius Vanderbilt II, and was designed by Stanford White of the firm of McKim, Mead and White in 1902-03.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
