Summary

Description
English: Bronze Medallions from Doors of the dining room of the SS Normandie, now adorn the front doors of Our Lady of Lebanon Roman Catholic Church in Brooklyn Heights.

July 2007 clarification and additional information: The church doors feature bronze medallions taken from the giant dining room entry way on the Normandie. The original two dining room doors were 20 foot tall, spanned over two ship decks in height and had 10 medallions--five on each door. The fate of the actual Normandie doors is not known. Six of the medallions were installed in the church's Henry St. doors. Four of the medallions were installed in the two Remsen St. doors.

The original door assemblies on the ship included script under each medallion describing the scene. The medallions were created by the French artist Raymond Subes.

This is based on a June 20, 1982 New York Times article and two books on the Normandie: (1) "Normandie, Liner of Legend" by Clive Harvey. (2) "Normandie Queen of the Seas" by Foucart, Offrey, Robischon, and Villiers.

This is also based on a July 2007 phone discussion in which the church representative indicated that the church does not have the SS Normandie doors but rather has medallions from the Normandie mounted in its own church doors. Mansour Stephan, the church's pastor at the time of the acquisition, was an antique enthusiast. The church also acquired the Normandie's Captain's Table that remains in use at this time.
