Description
I saw the beautiful steeple from a distance, and had to see it up close. I knew there had to be incredible history to be learned. The gothic revival style architecture of this church is stunning! Grace Church (Episcopal) in Manhattan New York is a city, national, and state historic landmark. It is located at 802 Broadway (at the corner of East 10th Street) should you wish to visit it. Considered one of New York City's greatest treasures, Grace Church was designed by James Renwick, Jr., an amazing architect and a story in itself. James Renwick also designed well known sites such as DC's Smithsonian Institution castle and St Ann's Church (now part of Packer Institute) in Brooklyn, NY. He won several awards in his lifetime as a phenomenal architect. Grace Church was built in 1843 and continues to hold services to this day. Emmy Vickers,

Wonderful capture of Grace Church with its tall steeple. Great framing with the buildings in the foreground. A son of mine attended Grace when he was a student in NYC many years ago, and I worshiped there when visiting him. f/l
Emmy Vickers replied:
Ann - wow, thank you so much for the compliment, favor, and like. Also thank you for sharing some personal history. That is awesome. Unfortunately, we did not have a chance to tour the inside, I hope to do that at another visit. Thanks again for the compliment.
