Saint Paul's Church

Illustration of St. Paul's Church published in 1834, in The History and Topography of the United States of North America by John Howard Hinton. Additional text from the book:

Broadway, the most splendid street in the city, runs through the centre, and extends three miles in length and about eighty feet in width. It is the great and fashionable resort for citizens and strangers, and is much crowded during pleasant weather. In this avenue are Grace, Trinity, and St. Paul's Churches, the Adelphi Hotel, City Hotel, National Hotel, Franklin House, American Hotel, Washington Hall, Masonic Hall, and a variety of shops, with elegant and extensive assortments of merchandize of every description.

In 1821, the Cooke Monument was erected in St. Paul's churchyard, a memorial to the English actor George Frederick Cooke, who was buried in the churchyard in 1812.
