Part of Trinity Church, St. Paul's Georgian-classical-revival style resembles London's St. Martin-in-the-Fields. Erected in 1766, it is the oldest surviving Manhattan public structure and has witnessed many historic events. George Washington worshipped there on his inauguration day in 1789 and attended services there for the two years that New York was the nation's capital. Other notable worshippers have included William IV of England and U.S. Presidents Grover Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison and George H.W. Bush. Following 9/11, the chapel served as a round-the-clock ministry for World Trade Center rescue workers for more than eight months. An exhibit documents the Ground Zero relief efforts. Open Monday-Saturday 10 am-6 pm, Sunday 9 am-4 pm. The churchyard is open daily 10 am-4 pm (later in the spring and summer). 209 Broadway (subway line 4, 5 or A to Fulton Street-Broadway; 6 to Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall), Manhattan, New York City.
