The Little Chapel that Stood By: A. B. CurtissIllustrated by: Mirto GolinoSubmitted by: Kolt age 9St. Paul’s Chapel was built in present day New York in 1766. The little Chapel has seen the American Revolution, George Washington’s family worship, immigrants searching for a new start, and a city grow around it. It sat in the shadows of the Twin Towers, until September 11, 2001. Many things were destroyed that day, but not the Little Chapel.
