Church of St. Dismas, the Good Thief

Church of St. Dismas, the Good Thief is a historic Roman Catholic church at the Clinton Correctional Facility on Cook Street in Dannemora, New York.

St. Dismas Church was built between 1939 and 1941 and is a large Neogothic inspired stone chapel.

It was constructed of fieldstones salvaged from several 19th century stone structures already on the site, including the prison's first cell block.

It features a steeply pitched, slate-clad gable roof and two massive oak entrance doors with Medieval inspired metal strapwork.
