DescriptionSt. John Kanty RC Church, Buffalo, New York - 20200519.jpg |
English: St. John Kanty Roman Catholic Church, 101 Swinburne Street at Broadway, Buffalo, New York, May 2020. The parish's 1890 foundation was in response to the outward expansion of Buffalo's burgeoning Polish-American enclave - not only was overcrowding at churches like St. Stanislaus and St. Adalbert a persistent problem due to population growth, but those parishioners who lived along the eastward portion of Broadway, toward Bailey Avenue, had a long trip to and from church each Sunday which involved navigating an at-grade crossing of the busiest railroad line in Buffalo, which led to many deaths annually. Unusually, the congregation still worships in their original 1893 church building, which quickly became the social center of the Broadway-Bailey neighborhood; the enormous complex included not only space for worship but also a school, bowling alleys, a gymnasium, and a concert hall where big bands played regularly. It survived fires in 1948 and 1955, the latter one a devastating three-alarm blaze that nearly destroyed the building but spared the centerpiece of the church's interior, a life-size carving of the Last Supper that was originally intended for the Basilica of Notre-Dame in Montreal. The interior was completely reconstructed following the 1955 blaze and is now modernist in appearance, in stark contrast to the Gothic Revival exterior, the work of an unknown architect. Unusually for the style, the twin towers are asymmetrical; the eastern one (left/background in this photo) is stouter and pierced with lancet windows, lacking a steeple, while the western one (right/foreground) sports a louvered window, steeple, and corbelling at the top of the tower to match that underneath the central gable above the rose window (underneath which you'll find still more stained-glass lancet windows and flanking which are a pair of twin pinnacles with finials). St. John Kanty continues today as an active congregation, its parish population bolstered somewhat in 2011 when the St. Adalbert parish was merged in. |
