Church Missions House
Church Missions House

Church Missions House (also known as 281 Park Avenue South) is a historic building at Park Avenue South and East 22nd Street in the Gramercy Park neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City, in an area once known as "Charity Row". The building was designed by Robert W. Gibson and Edward J. Neville Stent, with a steel structure and medieval-inspired facade. The design was inspired by the town halls of Haarlem and medieval Amsterdam. Church Missions House is so named because it was the headquarters of the Episcopal Church's Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society for much of the 20th century. The facade is made of granite at the ground story and Indiana Limestone on the other stories. The facade's composition is based on the arrangement of the superstructure, which is arranged as a grid of rectangles. The main entrance is through a porch at the center of the Park Avenue facade. Inside, the building contains at least 33,600 square feet (3,120 m2) of space. As of December 2019, all six floors of the building are occupied by Fotografiska New York, an offshoot of the Swedish photography museum Fotografiska. The Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society sought to develop a dedicated headquarters for much of the 19th century. The Church Missions House building was built between 1892 and 1894. The building was sold in 1963 to the Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies (FPWA). The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated Church Missions House as a landmark in 1979 and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The FPWA moved out of the building in 2015 and Fotografiska New York opened there in 2019.

The École
The École

The École, formerly 'École Internationale de New York, is an independent, French-American bilingual school serving an international community of Maternelle-to-Middle School students in New York City’s Flatiron District. The École has been designed to cultivate an internationally minded community of students. From Maternelle to Middle School, they artfully blend the best of the French and American educational systems, gifting students with deep bi-literacy, whole-child skills and knowledge, and an optimistic, multi-cultural perspective. So they grow more flexible and fluid, interested and interesting, persistent and positive. And always ready to shape and share their life's successes—whatever the moment and wherever they go. Its main building is at 111 East 22nd Street between Park and Lexington Avenues, where three floors accommodate the 2nd to 5th grades and the Middle School. While the Maternelle - the preschool - and the 1st graders are at 206 Fifth Avenue between West 25th and 26th Streets.As of 2018, The École counts 220 students. Each class has around 12 to 20 students, and each grade level has one or two classes. The École just signed a new lease to expand its main building, doubling the usable surface. Constructions are planned to start first quarter 2019. While it is developing, The École wants to maintain its small and strong community, never exceeding more than 20 students per class and 2 classes per grade.
