St. Luke's School

USA / New Jersey / Hoboken / Greenwich Street, 653-677
 school, 1955_construction, 2017 construction

2-story school building completed in 1955. It replaced 13 townhouses which once faced Greenwich Street. The long, low brick building was designed by Thomas M. Bell for the St. Luke's School, which was founded in 1894. The most conspicuous feature of the school is a low tower at the southeast corner of Christopher and Greenwich Streets with flanking bays which display brick quoins. The metal windows are widely spaced, one above the other, leaving considerable expanses of brickwork between them. The gymnasium was designed in 1926 by Renwick, Aspinwall & Guard. A more modern two-story addition was added to the top by ABA Studio in 2017 which drastically changed the looks of the building.
