==Career==
Mangin appears to have lived and worked in Paris. He worked with Ange-Jacques Gabriel on the design of the Place de la Concorde, Paris.〔Norval White and Elliot Willensky, ''AIA Guide to New York City'', rev. ed., (New York: Collier Books, 1978)〕 Previous to the present New York City Commissioner’ Plan of 1811, the city's Common Council commissioned surveyor Casimir Goerck and his partner Mangin in 1797 for a development plan of the city. They delivered this in 1803 but it was rejected.〔Gerard Koeppel, "(Talking Point: Manhattan traffic congestion is a historic mistake )", ''The Villager: West and East Village, Chelsea, Soho, Noho, Little Italy, Chinatown and Lower East Side, Since 1933'', Volume 77, Number 9 (August 01–07, 2007) (Accessed 19 May 2011)〕 Between 1801-1802, Mangin worked with John McComb Jr. (1763–1853) on New York's City Hall. Mangin was renowned as the talented designer, while McComb came from a family of talented builders. Another major work he was responsible for was the city's original Greek Revival-style St. Patrick’s Cathedral (1809–1815) at the corner of Mott and Prince Streets, which was altered after a fire in 1866 into a Gothic parish church, and was elevated to basilica status in 2010.〔Robert D. McFadden, "Cathedral With a Past; Basilica With a Future," ''New York Times'', December 5, 2010〕
