Today, the new One Word Trade Center can be seen in the background of the small, very old church. A great photo opportunity!

The entrance to 'St. Paul’s Chapel is located on Church Street. Built in 1766, it is now the oldest church in Manhattan. When the World Trade Center collapsed after the 9/11 attack in 2001, the church was not damaged despite its proximity to the attack. It has since been referred to as “The Little Chapel That Stood”. George Washington is said to have attended mass in this church after his appointment as 1st President of the United States at Federal Hall on Wall Street.
