Chapel of the Three Sisters

The Chapel of the Three Sisters, built in 1857 in Jamaica, Queens, reopened last week as the Illinois Jacquet Performance Space after a year of restoration. The city-owned, landmark building will be used by CUNY York College students and faculty as a multi-purpose performance space, with shows open to the public. The space is dedicated to the famed jazz saxophonist Illinois Jacquet who lived in southeast Queens.
