The 1887 book _Our Fireman_ by A. E. Costello mentions an 1824 Independence
Day fireman's parade that went from Hospital Green to the Bowery Church. I
find the the first location was the front yard of a hospital on Broadway
between Anthony and Duane streets, but Bowery Church has me stumped. It
doesn't seem to refer to St. Mark's in the Bowery, There's mention
elsewhere of a Bowery Church between Hester and Walker streets. Could this
be the one and, if so, where exactly was it sited and did it have a name
other than just the Bowery Church?

Any and all help appreciated.
