Saint Paul's Episcopal Church
Saint Paul's Episcopal Church, Georgian church in Downtown Norfolk, United States.
The brick church features symmetrical windows, arched doorways, and traditional colonial architectural elements with a distinctive white wooden steeple rising from the roof.
Built in 1739, this Episcopal church stands as the only structure that survived the British burning of Norfolk on New Year's Day 1776.
The interior displays a Tiffany stained glass window, demonstrating the intersection of American religious architecture and decorative artistry from different periods.
The church welcomes visitors Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with guided tours explaining its architectural and historical features.
A British cannonball from Lord Dunmore's attack remains embedded in the southeastern wall, marking a direct connection to the American Revolution.
