The structure features white marble walls, intricate stone carvings, and large stained glass windows, including an elaborate window above the altar depicting prophets and apostles in detailed panels.
Architect James Renwick Jr. designed this Episcopal church between 1843 and 1847 to serve a growing population moving northward from lower Broadway. The building emerged as part of Manhattan's urban expansion during the 19th century.
The church hosts concerts and musical performances featuring its choir and visiting musicians. Visitors can experience classical and sacred music that fills the building with sound.
The church is accessible to visitors during specific hours and offers daily services and various programs. It is recommended to check ahead for opening times as hours may vary depending on activities.
The stained glass windows were crafted by Clayton and Bell, British craftsmen known for their high-quality workmanship. These windows display religious figures in a rare Te Deum pattern that is not commonly seen in such detailed form.
