St. Paul's Church Rectory
St. Paul's Church Rectory, Georgian clergy house in Baltimore, United States.
Description
St. Paul's Church Rectory is a Georgian brick building standing at the northeast corner of Cathedral and West Saratoga Streets. It features a distinctive circular window set within a decorative pediment and displays the architectural details typical of its era.
History
The building was constructed between 1789 and 1791 on land donated by Colonel John Eager Howard. Construction costs were covered through a lottery that sold 3000 tickets.
Culture
The building reflects Episcopal heritage in Baltimore and has served as a residence for church leaders since the late 18th century. The spaces show how the clergy lived during that period in this growing port city.
Practical
The interior was renovated in 2019 to house an Urban Retreat House on the first floor and Parish Offices on the second floor. Keep in mind that this is an active parish office, so access may depend on visiting hours.
Did you know?
The first intended resident, Reverend Dr. William West, died in 1791 before the building was completed and never lived in it. This unexpected fate befell the man who was meant to be its first occupant.
