New Business- St. Thomas More Church Complex, 65 East 89th Street (Carnegie Hill Neighbors/Mary Dierickx): Applicant is seeking designation for the church complex as an individual landmark by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. The church was designed in the Gothic Revival style by the highly-regarded architectural firm Hubert & Pirsson. The four-building complex was built in stages between 1870 and 1892. The church, including its prominent signature bell tower, is an outstanding example of Gothic Revival ecclesiastical architecture and the whole group is largely intact as originally built. It is the second oldest surviving church in the Upper East Side and the oldest building in the Carnegie Hill community west of Park Avenue.
