If you take the A Train up to Spanish Harlem, you will find the Gothic Revival Church of the Intercession at 155th and Broadway that Goodhue designed and built. The sculpture in the Church was done by Lawrie, as was the tomb. Goodhue died in 1924 and his ashes were interred here in 1929, when the memorial was created. Goodhue is the only architect in in New York City to have been entombed in a building of his own creation, according to the website linked above with more history of the Church.

Pegasus, at Goodhue's feet, represents the spirit of creativity, and his head rests upon books. Above him in a semicircle are carvings of many of his buildings, including St. Bartholomews, The Los Angeles Public Library and the Nebraksa State Capitol.

The Church was founded on the land once occupied by the farm of John James Audobon, and he is buried in the churchyard under a massive Celtic cross, adorned with birds and animals.
