Church of the Heavenly Rest, 1085 Fifth Avenue at East 90th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128, combines an Episcopal place of worship with arts programming and an Undercroft Gallery. A church visit, gallery visit and scheduled service have different conditions.

Gothic Deco on Museum Mile

The church credits Hardie Phillip with the final design and dates this building’s dedication to March 31, 1929. Its account traces construction to November 1, 1926. That timeline is distinct from the congregation’s nineteenth-century beginnings. Its open interior and stained glass are architectural reasons to explore the building; this profile is based on sources, not an OPC visit.

Church, gallery and service hours

The site’s specifically labelled Public Visiting Hours are Monday–Friday 9 a.m.–6 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m.–5 p.m. and Sunday 8 a.m.–7 p.m. Office hours are separately listed as weekdays 9 a.m.–5 p.m. A generic business-hours widget also shows 9–5 daily; use the labelled visitor information and confirm date-specific access before travelling.

The arts page lists gallery visits Monday–Friday 10 a.m.–4 p.m., major-holiday closure and possible partial closure during church programs or rentals. Its Sunday line reads “12 am–4 pm”; the intended starting time is unclear and has not been silently changed to noon. A current November exhibition and general admission charge were not confirmed. Earlier shows appear under Past Exhibitions and are not current invitations.

For gallery questions: msahdev@heavenlyrest.org, 212-289-3400, extension 210. General enquiries: info@heavenlyrest.org. The service timetable lists Sunday Eucharist at 8:30 and 11 a.m.; this is a recurring schedule, not confirmation of a specific future service.
