Normandie Doors at Our Lady of Lebanon
Flickr photo by Tom RupoloUntapped New York has a story about the doors on Our Lady of Lebanon Cathedral at Henry and Remsen streets. The doors were taken from the great French ocean liner Normandie, which burned and sank in 1942 while in the process of being converted to a troopship while docked on the West Side of Manhattan. The story says the doors are on the Cathedral’s main entrance on Henry, but there are others (photo) on the Remsen Street side. They had to be re-sized to fit the existing church entrances, and were installed in the late 1940s.
