Built in 1767. Demolished in 1856. ════════════════════════════════════════════════ During the American Revolutionary War, the church building was used exclusively as a hospital and military prison by the British, but it was restored to religious service in 1784. There are no extant grave markers or known human remains at the site today, although there were burials in the churchyard from 1768 to 1823, with remains removed at various intervals, including in 1833 and 1853, prior to the final removal of all remains in 1856 and 1857. It was replaced in 1858 by the Brick Presbyterian Church on Murray Hill at 37th Street and Fifth Avenue (demolished in 1938) and finally by the present-day Brick Presbyterian Church at the corner of 91st Street and Park Avenue in New York City (Parish House and Business Office located at 62 East 92nd Street). There is no cemetery at this site. ════════════════════════════════════════════════ ▫ Years of use: 1768 — 1823. ▫ Cemetery disposition: Destroyed. ════════════════════════════════════════════════ NOTE — For burials through this church after 1823, there was an auxiliary graveyard located further north in Manhattan. See: Presbyterian Cemetery (East Houston Street). A few burial continued at the Brick Presbyterian Church after 1823, in violation of city ordinance and despite a fine of $250.
