The Church of the Ascension Parish was established in 1895 to serve the developing Bloomingdale area. Designed by Schickel & Ditmars, the Romanesque Revival building features a light-colored rough stone facade with limestone trim. The triple portal entrance is surmounted by a rose window and four small turrets. Inside, the Italianate nave has a decorated ceiling, wheel windows at the clerestory level, and tall side aisles with faux-marble columns. Above the white marble high altar is a richly-colored stained glass window depicting the Ascension of Christ.
