St. Bartholomew's Church at 346 Madison Avenue at East 44th Street in Manhattan, New York City, was designed by James Renwick Jr. in the Lombardic style and was built from 1872-1876. It featured a portal by Stanford White inspired by the abbey of Saint-Gilles-du-Gard in Provence which commemorated Cornelius Vanderbilt, whose son, William H. Vanderbilt, sold the site to the church. (Source: From Abyssinian to Zion (2004)) This view is from c.1918
