First Colored Congregational Church

A modest wooden building in lower Manhattan where light streams through plain glass windows onto worn pews polished by generations of worshipers. The pipe organ dominates the front, its brass pipes catching light like promises of transcendence.

Brooklyn Courthouse

High-ceilinged chamber with dark wood paneling where gaslight flickers across the bench where Judge Rockwell presides. The witness box sits exposed in the center, forcing those who testify to stand alone before the court's scrutiny.
