I understand that Trinity Church nr. Wall Street was once coated with wax
(which attracted a lot of surface dirt -- hence the black color) for many
years. It was cleaned not too many years ago, the wax and dirt removed. It is
now the original pinky-brown sandstone of the Upjohn design. I have not
confirmed this story, however -- take it for what it's worth.

Oh, great. This is just great. Now I've got girls providing me with technical
as well as historical information. Next, I'm gonna find out my wife is a
girl.
But wait a minute..........I think Trinity church downtown is way earlier
(1760's without checking, or maybe slightly post-Revolutionary) than Upjohn's
churches (1840's, without checking?).
Sign me,
Maybe regained some self respect.
