St. Thomas the Apostle Hollywood, Episcopal church in Hollywood, United States
St. Thomas the Apostle is an Episcopal church in Hollywood, built in 1930 to a Gothic Revival design by architect Harold Martin. The pale stone front has a stepped base, buttresses and a pinnacle, with three narrow arched windows; a lower wing with tall rectangular windows stands to its right, and a stone plaque on the vine-covered wall reads "ST THOMAS CHURCH / EPISCOPAL / HOLLYWOOD".
The parish was established in August 1920. Its origins trace to 1912, when Mary Ogden organised a church school in her living room with ten people attending. The present Gothic Revival building was constructed in August 1930, designed by architect Harold Martin.
The parish was founded in August 1920, eight years after Mary Ogden began holding a church school in her living room with ten attendees. The name comes from the Apostle Thomas, and the Episcopal congregation worships in the Gothic Revival building Harold Martin designed in 1930.
St. Thomas the Apostle stands at 7501 Hollywood Boulevard, at the corner of Gardner Street, opposite the Hollywood United Methodist Church. The 1930 Harold Martin building is entered from the boulevard; the parish office handles access to the chapels, which are sometimes reserved for private events.
The parish began in 1912 as a church school of ten people in Mary Ogden's living room, and was formally established as a parish in August 1920. The present Gothic Revival building, designed by architect Harold Martin, dates from August 1930.
