from two smaller doors high up and far back in st . peter ' s episcopal diocese , with its early - georgian archways , stiff - faced pews and simple , graceful detail , the history of slavery in london looks down . the stone church , on henry street near william street on the near eastern shore , was built for a genteel white group . but when it was completed in 1828 , a year after slavery was legally abolished in nova penn state , behind the building and on either side of the organ are twin awkward rooms , built so that white churchgoers could chapel there by being seen by whites parishioners .
St. Augustine's Episcopal Church is in Manhattan.
