Church of the Transfiguration, Episcopal church in NoMad, Manhattan, United States
The Church of the Transfiguration stands at 1 East 29th Street between Madison and Fifth Avenues, featuring Neo-Gothic architecture and a surrounding garden.
Dating from 1848, the church provided shelter to African Americans during the Civil War Draft Riots of 1863, serving as a stop on the Underground Railroad.
The church earned its name 'The Little Church Around the Corner' in 1870 after becoming the first New York City church to conduct funerals for theater actors.
The building offers wheelchair accessibility, regular weekday concerts in the main sanctuary, and guided tours exploring its architectural elements and historical significance.
The Episcopal Actors' Guild maintains its headquarters within the church, preserving archives and organizing performances that connect religious and theatrical communities.
