    St. Paul's Chapel in Lower Manhattan. The oldest surviving church building in Manhattan, and a survivor of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks upon the adjacent World Trade Center. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Paul's_Chapel

Tearing down Astor house (LOC)

  • Wystan said:
    John Jacob Astor had it built, in 1836. Abraham Lincoln slept there, in 1860. The south part was demolished in 1913, a victim of subway construction, and the rest was torn down in 1926. Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astor_House

    Wystan: Thanks for the additional details on the Astor house. We will add a bit more to the record when we update.
