The second oldest church building in NYC is the Market Street (Northern) Reformed Church, also known as the Northeast Dutch Reformed Church or the Northeast Reformed Dutch Church. This church of Manhattan schist, brick, wood and sandstone was built in the Georgian style in 1817-1819 on land donated by Colonel Henry Rutgers. It was commonly called the Kirk on Rutgers Farm.
In 1864, the Dutch Reformed Church disbanded, and two years later the Georgian-Gothic Revival church was transferred to the Trustees of New York Presbytery by its new owner Hanson K. Corning. Presbyterian seamen from the multitudes of ships in nearby NYC harbors were guided spiritually by the new tenant of the 61 Henry Street Church, the Presbyterian Church of Sea and Land.
The Church of Sea and Land was nearly sold for $50,000 to help pay off the mortgage for the Presbyterian's New York Church in Harlem (run by Dr. Robinson) on 7th Avenue and 128th Street. The Rev. Dr. Parkhurst of the Madison Avenue Church stopped the sale, declaring it unjust and unkind and that the church’s good work should not be interfered with.
Chinese workers immigrated into NYC in the 1870s and 1880s. The Rev Huie Kin had his first mission on University Place. In 1910, Kin was named pastor of the new First Chinese Presbyterian Church, which in 1951 began sharing the Church of Sea and Land. In June 1972, the Church of Sea and Land was dissolved, and in 1974, the Presbytery gifted the church to the First Chinese Presbyterian Church. The First Chinese Presbyterian Church and its Erben organ became a NYC landmark in 1966.
Mechanics Alley
Just south of the Manhattan Bridge, between Cherry, Henry, Pike and Market Streets
(40.712464, -73.993821)
Mechanics Alley is one of the skinniest streets in NYC, still running east to west between Cherry and Henry Streets, and north to south between Pike and Market Streets. The section of the alley between Henry and Madison Streets was known as Birmingham Alley. The original Mechanics Alley ran only between Cherry and Monroe Streets directly under the Manhattan Bridge, not just south of it (as it is today, on the path of the old Birmingham Alley). The original Mechanics Alley disappeared after 1905 when the Manhattan Bridge was constructed. There was a Mechanics Place behind 359 Rivington Street between Lewis and Goerck Streets.
Builders who worked as artisans, artificers, craftsmen and tradesmen were once called mechanics. Because they had the skills to build new settlements, mechanics who immigrated to the New World in the 17th century were promised free ship passage, free land, and exemptions from taxes and military service. Carpenters, bricklayers, masons, glaziers, painters and plasterers came to NYC and received great wages as they built and rebuilt the constantly growing city.
