St. Paul's - the other side


A while back I posted a photo of the eastern facade of St. Paul's Chapel, a historic church in lower Manhattan. Last month I took a picture of the western facing side, so I thought I'd show you that too. Last year the church removed all of the pews in an effort to make a more flexible worship and community space. It was controversial at the time, but now they do their services with seating in the round, and it makes for a more intimate space. If you'd like to read more, they have a video on their site at http://www.saintpaulschapel.org/in_depth/videos.shtml.
