Celebrating 250 years, St. Peter's Episcopal Church in the
Society Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia, has witnessed a rich
mixture of people and events that reflect critical periods of
American political and cultural history. George Washington
worshiped here as did abolitionists and slave holders, Whigs,
Democrats, and Republicans. St. Peter's was a point of first
contact for thousands of immigrants, and the church opened schools
for immigrants to help them to acculturate to life in
Philadelphia.
Opening a window onto colonial Philadelphia and the nation's
histories, a"St. Peter's Church"ais a glorious testament to this
National Historic Landmark. In addition to the stories and hundreds
of black-and-white and color photographs, this handsome volume
provides a history of the grounds, the churchyard, and the church
itself-a classic example of eighteenth-century Philadelphia design
that later incorporated the work of renown architects William
Strickland, Thomas U. Walter, and Frank Furness."
