St. George's Syrian Catholic Church
St. George's Syrian Catholic Church is a former church located at 103 Washington Street in the Financial District of Manhattan. The church is the last physical reminder of the Syrian- and Lebanese-American community that once lived in Little Syria. Originally three stories tall with a peaked roof, the structure was built c.1812, and by 1850 was being used as a boardinghouse for immigrants. In 1925 the building began being used for the use of the Syrian Catholic Church, organized in 1889 to serve the Syrian- and Lebanese-American community in the Little Syria neighborhood, also known as the Syrian Quarter. -from Wikipedia
