Trinity Church
The parish dates to a 1697 royal charter, but the building you see is the third on the site (1846) — the first burned in 1776, the second was demolished. I send people to the churchyard more than the church: Alexander Hamilton, his wife Eliza, Robert Fulton, and Albert Gallatin are buried steps from Wall Street, the system Hamilton built.
The 1846 Gothic Revival church at Wall Street's head — Hamilton, Fulton, and Gallatin in its yard.
