This is New York City's Trinity Church (Richard Upjohn, 1846). Excuse the self-linking, but here's a panorama showing the modern interior.

"Coronation" ceremony? In an Episcopal cathedral? I doubt it. Might have been an ordination or bishop's investiture.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Anglican, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Yes, stefkagoil, certainly not a coronation. Possibly a celebration ceremony for the coronation of George V, June 1911.

This is a great photo.

In front of the Cotton and Coffee Exchanges is the Hanover Square Station of the Third Avenue Elevated, which was was the last of the Els to vanish. It made its last scheduled run in May 1955, demolished in 1956. William Russell Grace (1832-1904) was New York City's first Roman Catholic mayor in 1880. He opposed Tammany Hall, reformed the police, curbed vice, and reduced taxes- and was re-elected in 1884.

John Schrank lived here before his attempted assassination of Theodore Roosevelt

This is on Manhattan's Canal Street, near the corner of Elizabeth Street--currently part of New York's Chinatown. Many of the buildings on the right side of the photo remain intact.

My grandfather Gustav Jost and his father Leopold Jost and mother Ephrosine ran this bar and lunchroom, and probably the whole hotel in 1900. The 1900 census shows them living at this address with six boarders and two servants.
