Description	Located in Norfolk, Virginia and built in 1739, St. Paul's Church is the only surviving colonial-era building. The church, which is also referred to as 'Borough Church', is built in the shape of a Latin cross of walls laid in Flemish and English bond. One distinctive feature is the inscription "1739 S.B." in a projection of bricks located in the south transept. The materials to build the church are believed to be a gift from Samuel Boush, the first mayor of the Borough of Norfolk.
