He designed St. Jean Baptiste Church and Rectory (1910), one of few Catholic churches in city with a dome and the only one besides St. Patrick's Cathedral (New York City) to have stained glass made in Chartres. This won a prize in an international competition. This was followed by the more modest brick temple-fronted Church of the Sacred Hearts of Mary and Jesus (New York City), built in 1915 for $35,000 and demolished in 2007. His office was located at 1170 Broadway.[1]
