The burial ground houses two very interesting once-upon-a-time New Yorkers: Robert Fulton, the inventor of the steamboat, and Alexander Hamilton, the 1st Secretary of Treasury to the US. St. Paul's Chapel This church, unlike Trinity Church, was built only once in 1766 and is currently Manhattan's oldest public building in continuous use. St. Paul's Chapel is a survivor to some of New York's greatest known disasters, such as the great fire that dates back to 1835 up to the tragic September 11 attacks in 2001. Woolworth Building As it opened on the spring day of April 24, 1913, the Woolworth Building was declared the world's tallest building. Constructed in neo-Gothic style by architect Cass Gilbert, the building is still one of the most famous skyscrapers in New York City to this day. City Hall Home to government offices, such as the City Council and the Mayor's office, City Hall sits at the intersection of Broadway, Park Row, and Chambers Street. Built in the grand French Renaissance architectural style, it holds the title of the oldest City Hall in the United States! An area as rich as the Financial District in history, beauty, and a unique sense of character- why wouldn't it be known as the birthplace of New York City?
