St. Mary's Episcopal Church
St. Mary's Episcopal Church, Episcopal church in Foggy Bottom, Washington D.C.
The Gothic Revival building features a timber roof structure and detailed stained glass windows designed by Tiffany Studios at 730 23rd Street NW.
Founded in 1867 by former members of The Church of the Epiphany, St. Mary's became the first African American Episcopal congregation in Washington D.C.
The church stands as a testament to African American religious freedom, emerging during the Reconstruction era with support from two white congregations.
The Episcopal church maintains regular worship services and community events, serving the local population from its location in the Foggy Bottom district.
Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton provided the initial chapel structure, which came from a decommissioned Civil War hospital building.
