The Broadway Tabernacle, New York, in Anniversary Week — Snyder, Black & Sturn

This interior shows a famous church on Broadway between Worth Street and Catherine Lane, opened in 1836 to hold 2,400 people, the size of crowds that flocked to hear the evangelist Charles Finney (1792-1875). The building was also used to house inter-demoninational celebrations held annually to commemorate a range of Protesant philanthropies.
