Broadway @ Fulton Street
Architect: Archibald Mcbean and James Lawrence (the tower, steeple, and porch), and Pierre L’Enfant (interior)
Date Constructed: 1766
Episcopal

Modeled after London’s St. Martin–in–the–Fields,
St. Paul’s Chapel is the oldest church in New York City and the oldest public building in continuous use. George Washington, General Cornwallis, and the Marquis de Lafayette all worshipped here, and a service was held for Washington’s inauguration as the first U.S. President. Located next to the World Trade Center site, the church miraculously escaped destruction when the twin towers fell and became a spiritual center for rescue workers in the following months.
