St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery

Occupying what is often described as the oldest site of continuous worship in Manhattan, this church as seen today embodies a series of additions in various styles of architecture, made over a considerable period of years. The main body of the church is basically Georgian, while the steeple is Greek Revival and the cast-iron porch is Italianate.
