Place: Saint John's Church
Address: 27 Devens Street
Neighborhood: Charlestown
As I visited Charlestown on June 26, 2012, another important location I found was the Saint John's Church off Main Street.
To visit, ride bus route 92 on Main Street or Warren Street. Then walk on Devens Street.
"St. John's Church was founded in 1840 on the eve of a population boom in Charlestown. Joining diverse Christian denominations, St. John's became the town's only Episcopal congregation. Built in 1841, this early Gothic Revival church, designed by Richard Bond, is notable for its dark ashlar granite facade, quatrefoil windows and square crenellated tower. The adjacent 1870s Carpenter Gothic stick-style chapel, designed by Ware and Van Brunt, was lifted to alow the addition of a brick ground floor, thereby creating the Parish House in 1901."
