St. Augustine's Church (Manhattan)

[3] The church began in 1819 as a mission near the old Grand Street Ferry run by students of the General Theological Seminary.

[5] The design – a Georgian structure with Gothic windows[6] – is credited to John Heath, and includes a double pediment and a projecting tower.

Edgar Allan Poe used to attend on occasion during the church's early years.

[2][7] The building became a New York City landmark in 1966,[2] and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
