What the community has to say about St. Paul's Chapel

Information about this business (2)

Opened in 1766, St. Paul's Chapel is Manhattan's oldest public building in continuous use. Parish of Trinity Church. Free Bach at 1 Weds.

This Episcopal Chapel, located in what is now the bustling financial district, was dedicated in 1766 and is the oldest remaining church in Manhattan. Rich in history, George Washington worshiped here on his inauguration day, and his personal pew is still on display. During the 9/11 attacks, this little chapel survived the disaster and remained as a bulwark against the chaos and turmoil outside...

Editorial reviews from the web (2)

Manhattan’s only surviving pre-Revolutionary church, from 1766, was built by Thomas McBean to resemble St. Martin-in-the-Fields in London. With a light, elegant Georgian interior, a temple-like portico, and fluted Ionic columns, the humble Episcopal chapel and its small graveyard, filled with 18th- and 19th-century tombstones, serve as both a city landmark and welcome sanctuary from the hubbub...

Today a beacon of ministry for lower Manhattan, the chapel was surrounded by fields when it was completed in 1766.

In Short
Escaping the Great Fire of 1776 and enduring the September 11, 2001, attacks at the adjacent World Trade Center without a broken window, St. Paul's Chapel is an anomaly, a rare...

Haven’t visited St.Paul’s since the early 1970’s, decided to stop in with our daughter while at 9/11 Memorial! We walked through the old cemetery out front for awhile before entering the chapel. The cemetery is quite amazing to walk through looking at the informational plaques...

Certainly this place does have a history and the storyboards around the walls tell the tale very well. Curiously there is a security scanner as you enter.
Anyhow, it was damaged very little during the 9/11 atrocity and so it is in the main as...

St. Paul's is a chapel that is part of Trinity Church's parish.
It was lucky to avoid destruction in the great fire of 1776 when the British burned the city. George Washington worshiped there the day of his inauguration and kept a pew there while...

Business description (5)

St Paul Chapel is located at 209 Broadway, New York, NY. This location is in the Financial District neighborhood. This business specializes in Religion & Spirituality.

St. Paul's Chapel is a colonial church, its construction completed in 1766. On Inauguration Day in 1789, George Washington worshipped at St. Paul's. The Chapel is part of the Parish of Trinity Church.

Under the proprietorship of Trinity Church, St. Paul's is the oldest church on Manhattan Island. This beautiful Georgian structure, dating from the 1760s, is a proud reminder of New York's past and stands in stark contrast to the modern office buildings and skyscrapers surrounding it. Inside the chapel, little has changed over the past few hundred years, including George Washington's pew and...
