St. Paul's Chapel, located at 209 Broadway in Lower Manhattan between Fulton and Vesey Streets, is a Georgian church building erected in 1766 and the oldest surviving church structure in Manhattan. Built as a chapel of Trinity Church, an Episcopal parish, it stands as one of the nation's finest examples of Georgian ecclesiastical architecture. The chapel earned landmark status beginning in 1960 when it was designated a National Historic Landmark, followed by its designation as a New York City Landmark and placement on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. The building gained widespread recognition following the September 11, 2001, attacks, when it remained standing despite the collapse of the adjacent World Trade Center, subsequently earning the epithet "The Little Chapel That Stood."
