English: New Life Harvest Church of God in Christ, 1947 Bailey Avenue, Buffalo, New York, May 2020. Built in 1905, the imposing Gothic style edifice was constructed of gray St. Lawrence granite and designed by the architectural firm of Cyrus K. Porter and Sons. The structure of the building is cruciform, with a façade topped with a gabled parapet and flanked by a pair of smaller spires that are pierced with lancet windows, and an imposing tower at the northwest corner of the building topped with a low-pitched hipped roof (in place of the steeple that was removed c. 2009). A recurring motif is the hexafoil pattern, which manifests itself repeatedly in the large stained glass window facing Bailey Avenue, in the clerestory above the Gothic-arched entrance, and in the windows above the secondary entrance at the base of the tower. The interior is intimately proportioned and features a stained glass window in the loft depicting the Holy Family. The building was originally conceived as the home of Holy Name of Jesus Roman Catholic Church, a parish that got its start in 1887 catering to the spiritual needs of a bilingual community of German-Americans that had gathered around the corner of Genesee Street and Bailey Avenue in the previous years and were largely employed in the railroads that crisscrossed this part of town; their original wood-framed building was repurposed for use as the parochial school upon completion of the present building and served as such until the construction of the present school building in 1913. The parish was one of the first to be dissolved in the diocese's "Journey in Faith and Grace" consolidation program, in 2005; four years later, the building was sold to New Life Harvest Church of God in Christ, an African-American congregation that was then located in Hamlin Park, and it remains their home to this day.
