Landmarks of New York
St. Paul's Chapel
This famous example of Georgian architecture built 1764-1766, with spire and portico added 1794-1796, is the only church structure surviving the colonial era of New York City. The design by Thomas mcBean closely followed that of St. Martin-in-the-Fields by James Gibbs. President Washington was a regular attendant following his inauguration in 1789 when New York was the national capital.
