Notes
  • Significance: Tradition associates Calvin T.S. Brent (1854-1899), Washington's earliest known black architect, with the design of this church. St. Luke's rivals Mount Zion United Methodist Church in Georgetown as Washington's oldest surviving church building built for a black congregation. St. Luke's also stands as a reminder of the post Civil War period of Afro-American history when the institution of the church was unrivaled as the center of black political and social, as well as religious life.
