St. Paul's Chapel, or "The Little Chapel That Stood", is an Episcopal chapel located at 209 Broadway, between Fulton Street and Vesey Street. It is the oldest surviving church building in Manhattan. The St. Paul Building was a skyscraper in New York City built in 1898 to designs by George B. Post that repeated the same Ionic order for each floor, to little cumulative effect. At 315 feet (26 stories) it was one of the tallest skyscrapers of its era. Personally one of Post's least favorite buildings, it was called "ugly" by some contemporary critics, but hundreds of thousands of visitors came to marvel at it. It was demolished without public expression of regret in 1958 in order to make way for the Western Electric Building. Photographed by the Detroit Publishing Company, 1901.
