Hidden City: Dean Radinovsky's Secret Chapel

It took artist Dean Radinovsky two years to build this chapel. Soon it will be gone.(Carolina A. Miranda)
It is a jewel box of tranquility — made more special by the fact that few people ever knew it was there.
On the corner of 57th Street, in view of the West Side Highway, a drafty warehouse houses a warren of artist studios.
For two years, artist Dean Radinovsky visited his studio late at night, mixing mortar and stacking cinder blocks.
In 2008, he put the finishing touches on a highly unusual structure: a building-within-a-building — a small chapel, lined with abstract paintings, and softly illuminated by light bulbs covered in milk-glass coffee mugs.
But Radinovsky, along with the other artists that inhabit the warehouse, will have to give up their space at the end of August to make way for a school. The building will be turned over to developers and construction crews.
