History

[edit]

The church began in 1819 as a mission near the oldGrand Street Ferry run by students of theGeneral Theological Seminary. Led by former mayor,Marinus Willett, the mission grew. It was organized as a parish in 1824, and construction began onAll Saints' Free Church ("Free" meaning free ofpew rent),^[4] around 1827. It was built ofManhattan schist.^[2] Around this time "Mount Pitt" (also known as Jones Hill), near Pitt and Grand Streets, was being leveled, and some of field stone used was taken from there.^[5]

The design – aGeorgian structure withGothic windows^[6] – is credited to John Heath, and includes a doublepediment and a projectingtower.^[2] The church was consecrated in 1828 by BishopJohn Henry Hobart.Edgar Allan Poe used to attend on occasion during the church's early years.^[5]

This 1934 drawing from theHistoric American Buildings Survey shows approximately what the east elevation of the church looked like before it lost its tower.

Traditionally, it is thought that two rough galleries on either side of the organ loft might have been for the use of slaves, despite the church having been built after slaves were emancipated in New York.^[7] The building was enlarged in 1848 with the addition of asanctuary and achancel.^[8]

In 1949, the congregation merged withSt. Augustine's Chapel ofTrinity Church, then located at 107East Houston Street, and the new combined congregation used the building on Henry Street.^[7] The parish became independent of Trinity in 1976.^[2]^[7]

The building became aNew York City landmark in 1966,^[2] and was added to theNational Register of Historic Places in 1980.^[9]
