Which President regularly used a pew at St. Paul's Chapel?

  1. Antonio Meucci

  2. George Washington

  3. Peter Stuyvesant

  4. John D. Rockefeller Jr. and Baptist Minister Harry Emerson Fosdick..Allen, Collins, and Pelton

The correct answer is: George Washington

George Washington regularly used a pew at St. Paul's Chapel. This historical fact is significant because St. Paul's Chapel is located in Lower Manhattan and is the oldest surviving church building in Manhattan. As the first President of the United States, George Washington's presence in such a historic church adds to the significance of the site for visitors and tourists. The other options provided, such as Antonio Meucci, Peter Stuyvesant, and John D. Rockefeller Jr. and Baptist Minister Harry Emerson Fosdick..Allen, Collins, and Pelton, do not have a historical connection to using a pew at St. Paul's Chapel.
