I missed the beginning of the presentation. Can you tell me where exactly on Spring St. these remains were found? Thanks.   

The Spring Street Presbyterian Church was located at the corner of Spring and Varick Streets.


What’s the name of the hotel?   

The condominium hotel is now known as the Dominick Hotel. At the time of construction, it was Trump Soho. It changed names in December of 2017.


What is the name of the website and the facebook page?   

What happened to the congregation after it bunt and closed? Did they move, and does it still exist today? Have you met any of Pastor Ludlow's descendants?   

The congregation had dwindled in the later years, and they dispersed after the church closed. We have not been contacted by any decedents of the Rev Ludlow at this time.
