Grace Church: Then & Now

New York City is renowned for its skyscrapers, but its churches are magnificent in their own right. Vernon Howe Bailey did many sketches of churches, and in the drawing on the left we see Grace Church surrounded by passers by. Grace Church is a National Historic Landmark, recognized for its unique architectural features. In the image on the right we see that the church has been preserved, although the attire of the pedestrians, as well as the cars, have changed considerably.
