St. Mark’s in the Bowery

Public domain

Erisava: It's all so pale it looks like the whole city's been through the wash.

What's your take?

The church is real and still standing — apparently one of the oldest in New York, with Peter Stuyvesant buried underneath it. They say the painter did a whole run of city churches around this time, one after another.
