Summary
[edit]DescriptionDarul Rasheed - former Queen of the Most Holy Rosary RC Church - Buffalo, New York - 20200517.jpg |
English: Darul Rasheed, located at 1040 Sycamore Street (corner Sobieski Street) in Buffalo, New York, as seen in May 2020. Originally built as home of Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Roman Catholic Church and School - one of, if not the only remaining combination church/school building in the city upon its closure - its design sees architect Władysław Zawadzki being flexible with his signature aesthetic as he adapts it to the form of a church, and adding some Gothic Revival elements to the mix as well - the rows of small pedimented dormer windows and overall stout appearance is classic Zawadzki, yet here he adapts the baskethandle arch motif he prefers in his windows into blunt Gothic arches to match the compound one at the front entrance. Queen of the Most Holy Rosary is a parish with a most interesting history - it traces its roots to 1895, when the internecine warfare at St. Adalbert's over issues of ownership of church property led one faction to break away not only from the parish but from the diocese itself, establishing Holy Mother of the Rosary, Buffalo's first "independent Catholic" church, which later aligned itself with the Scranton, Pennsylvania-based Polish National Catholic Church. They built a church building for themselves several years later but soon ran into trouble paying off the debt incurred by its construction; the Buffalo Diocese, seeing an opportunity to crush the renegade independent church for good, purchased the building at a 1913 foreclosure auction, and Queen of the Most Holy Rosary was the parish they established to fill the building. The Polish National Church won the building back in a lawsuit two years later, whereupon the Diocese commissioned Zawadzki to design and construct a new church for the now-homeless Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, which he did in 1917. After that, the congregation settled into a mostly uneventful existence that ended in the diocese's 1993 consolidation of inner-city parishes. The building was purchased in 1994 by Darul Uloom Al-Madaniya Islamic Seminary for use as its girls' school, known as Darul Rasheed; ironically, they also own the original Holy Mother of the Rosary building too, which is now their mosque. |
