St. Paul’s Sycamore
September 10, Trinity Church, Broadway at Wall St.
- view map - view schedule -

On September 11th 2001, debris from the collapsing World Trade Center towers knocked over a century-old sycamore tree in the yard of St. Paul’s Chapel. Seeing the roots as a metaphor for connectedness and strength after tragedy, sculptor Steve Tobin used it as the base for a massive bronze sculpture cast at his Bucks County, PA studio. The sculpture will be dedicated and installed in a permanent location at Trinity Church at Broadway and Wall St. on Sept. 10, 2005. The original roots, painstakingly preserved by Tobin with the help of experts, will eventually be returned to reside permanently at St. Paul’s Chapel.
