Caption: "Frances [sic] Tavern N.Y. Where Washington Took Leave Of Offices And Disbanded The Troops At Conclusion Of Revolutionery [sic] War." Built as a family home for Etienne "Stephen" DeLancey in 1719, this building was converted to use as a tavern in 1762. It served many important functions before, during, and after the Revolutionary War, but several fires in the nineteenth century erased the building's original appearance. The Sons of the Revolution purchased the property in 1904 and embarked upon extensive restoration plans in 1907, supervised by William Mersereau. The building is now used as a museum and art gallery.

Caption: "Trinity Church, Wall Street. Aug. 29, 1934. New York City." The 281-foot-high steeple of Trinity Church spears the sky between two tall buildings on New York City's Wall Street in this photograph. The church, dedicated in 1846, was the third church built at the site. Designed by Richard Upjohn when the second Trinity Church had to be replaced due to structural issues, the present church is one of the earliest examples of Gothic Revival or Neo-Gothic architecture in the nation. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976.
