St. Paul's Chapel - 'The Little Chapel That Stood'

St. Paul's Chapel, built in 1766, is the oldest surviving church building in Manhattan and stands across from the World Trade Center site. After the September 11, 2001 attacks the chapel survived without major structural damage and served as a relief center and haven for recovery workers, earning the nickname 'The Little Chapel That Stood' in news accounts and local lore. The chapel's continuous presence and role in the 2001 aftermath are repeatedly documented in contemporary reports and historical summaries.
