The Chapel of the Divine Compassion, a historic site listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is located at 52 North Broadway, White Plains, NY 10603 in Westchester County.

From: The Examiner by Pat Casey: "The Chapel of the Divine Compassion built of stone and designed in a Celtic fashion, houses the founders of the religious order Mary Dannat Starr (later Mother Mary Veronica) and Monsignor Thomas Preston, who are buried in the chapel crypt along with past leaders of the order.

"The entire complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 25, 1997, with the help of the White Plains Historical Society and its president at that time, Jack Harrington.

"The property contains 12 buildings comprising 162,180 square feet and resides within the RM-1.5 residential multi-family zoning district of White Plains in which residential housing and a convent are listed as permitted principal uses. Special permits are required for any private school use, philanthropy or professional office space."
