Gated in 1850. The first rector. Rev.
! George Hendrick Houghton, was
| rector for forty mine years and was
! succeeded by the present rector, Rev.
DR.. George Clarke Houghton, In 1897.
| The church was consecrated under
the name of the TRANSPORTATION. In
1874 an actor, George Holland by
name. died, and, as his family at
tended little church on the corner
of Twenty eighth street and Madison
| avenue, Joseph Jefferson. as the dead
mans friend. went to that rector to
ask his offices in burying Holland.
The rector was led to decline the SER
vice in the church because he felt
that he had no right to offlciate at
the funeral of so prominent an actor
as Holland was and referred Mr. JEFF
ferson TO the little church around
the corner" meaning thereby the
! Church of the TRANSPORTATION. II Is
rue that the Church of the Trans
hguration accommodates twelve hun
dred, and the church that declined to
bury Holland accommodated by three
hundred and fifty, yet, unwittingly
perhaps, he called the larger church
the little church around the corner"
Joseph Jefferson, pleased with the
te m visited the rector or the Church
of the TRANSPORTATION and from him
obtained permission to bring Holland
for burial there After the funeral
Jefferson told someone of the Incl
dent and 1T became public property
in the newspapers That Is the way
the church received the familiar title
OF THE Little Church Around the
Corner" The present rector has three
curates assisting him. DR.. Parkhurst

nue.. on the corner of Twenty fourth
