Page 49 "the opposite direction brought one to Trinity Church"

From page 49 of the book:  "...Later that afternoon, I made my way toward Union Square Station to take a downtown train to Owen's office in the financial district. Owen's building stood at the corner of Broadway and Wall Street. Within a short walking distance lay Battery Park and New York's harbor, and the view to the Statue of Liberty. A couple blocks in the opposite direction brought one to Trinity Church, its historic graveyard taking up the corner lot of that block. I had often finished lunch with Owen and walked through it, marvelling at the above-ground tombs of Robert Fulton and Alexander Hamilton, the tilted, chipped gravestones of past New York governors, church ministers, children, sea captains, and Civil War soldiers."
