Billy Sunday Tabernacle, Manhattan, New York

The Billy Sunday Tabernacle in Manhattan was a massive temporary wooden structure built for a 10-week revival in 1917, located at 168th Street and Broadway on the former site of Hilltop Park. It seated 16,000–20,000 people, featured sawdust-covered floors, and hosted over a million attendees, marking a high point in Sunday’s evangelical career.
