Grace Church
Established: December 1808
Date in Location: 1846
A National Historic Landmark since 1966, Grace Church is both massive and splendid at the same time. Completed in 1846, it is famous for its beautiful arches, stained glass windows, spire, carvings, and mosaics, all created in the Gothic Revival style by James Renwick, Jr. Although only in his twenties when he was commissioned as the architect, Renwick later went on to design many other notable buildings, including St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Fifth Avenue. Tours of this most impressive structure are given on Sundays at 1:00pm.
