1st Huguenot Church Eglise du Saint Esprit. Up to 1688 the French congregation worshipped in the Dutch church in the fort, but in that year they put up a church of their own in Marketfield street, or Petticoat lane, half way between Broad and Whitehall streets.&nbsp;

A new and larger church was built at the corner of Pine and Nassau Streets. It was called, for the first time, “Le Temple du Saint-Esprit.” It was to serve the parish for the next 130 years. A simple rectangular building, 50 by 75 feet. Beside it was a graveyard. There was a wooden fence on the sides which bordered the streets.
