Long Battle Over Trinity Church Ground in New York
Special correspondence notes Trinity Church in New York as the city’s richest organization with vast land holdings. Its history dates to Queen Anne’s era, including a rebuilt church after the 1776 fire and a Gothic present building finished in 1846. The church sits at Broadway facing Wall Street amid dense financial activity. It preserves ties to figures from early New York’s evolution and those linked to its financial power.
