Worship in Washington

[Laurie Verge]

As Rob has stated, the current New York Avenue Presbyterian Church is not original. They did create a Lincoln Parlor, however, off the main sanctuary reminiscent of Dr. Gurley's office where Lincoln sat on a sofa to hear the service without creating a "disturbance" by being among the communicants.

I'm not sure of the history or when this occurred, but the current steeple of the church was a gift from Robert Todd Lincoln.
