University Place Presbyterian Church



Looking over my notes on Elizabeth Kane's 1853 journal, I found some information about her marriage.  She & Thomas were married on April 21, 1853 at the Presbyterian Church on 10th Street & University Place, New York City.  I put the address in Google Maps to see if it was still there (it isn't), then I googled "10th street and university place presbyterian church nyc" and found this:

It is all about the organ at University Place Presbyterian Church, but it has a picture, & tells me that the Church stood on the southeast corner of 10th & University Place.  After some (3, I think) of the Presbyterian congregations in New York City combined in 1918, the church was demolished.
