#project365 [day 53] St. Bartholomew's Church, Park Avenue

October 23, 2015

Another cold morning in NYC, but this time with a glorious sunshine to help keep our spirits up and our pictures illuminated. Located in Midtown Manhattan on Park Avenue, one of the busiest avenues in New York, is a fine example of Byzantine Revival design erected in 1916-17 was designated a landmark in 1967. This Episcopal Church is noted for its pipe organ, the largest in the city of New York and one of the ten largest in the world.
One of the services available at this church, which I found very surprising, is Brunch + Bible which combines bible studies with food for the body, it even has a vegetarian option.

#project365 [day 47] The Little Chapel That Stood

October 17, 2015

The St. Paul's Chapel is the oldest surviving church building in Manhattan. It's an episcopal chapel located at 209 Broadway in Lower Manhattan. It was built on land granted by Queen Anne, designed by architect Thomas McBean and, upon its completion in 1766 it was the tallest building in New York.
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1960, in part by being the oldest public building in continuous use in the city. It also survived the Great New York City Fire of 1776, when a quarter of the city was burned following the British capture after the Battle of Long Island.
