What is the oldest inhabited building in NYC?

  1. 1766 St. Paul's Chapel.

  2. Empire State Building.

  3. Flatiron Building.

  4. One World Trade Center.

The correct answer is: 1766 St. Paul's Chapel.

The oldest inhabited building in NYC is 1766 St. Paul's Chapel. This is the correct answer because St. Paul's Chapel, which was completed in 1766, is indeed the oldest surviving church building in Manhattan. It served as a place of worship, refuge, and community hub for many New Yorkers, notably after the events of September 11, 2001. On the other hand, while the Empire State Building, the Flatiron Building, and One World Trade Center are iconic landmarks in NYC, they are not as old as St. Paul's Chapel, making them incorrect choices for the oldest inhabited building in the city.
