Nicholas Serracino, AIA, was an American architect active in late-nineteenth- and early twentieth-century New York City. His office was located at 1170 Broadway, New York City, and was principally noted for his designs of churches and parish schools for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York.[1]
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 1915 for $35,000 and demolished 2007. His office was located at 1170 Broadway.[1]
