St. Mark’s in-the-Bowery

St. Mark’s in-the-Bowery is a late Georgian church built in 1799 to replace the chapel Peter Stuyvesant built in 1660 on his Bouwerie, or Farm, making it Manhattan’s oldest site used for a place of worship. The last Dutch Governor-General is buried here, along with seven generations of his descendants and members of the Goelet, Schermerhorn, and Lorillard families. A Greek Revival steeple added in 1828 and an Italianate cast-iron porch from 1854 harmonize remarkably well with the original church.
