| St. Luke’s Episcopal Church |
| 200 Block of North Carey Street |
| This jewel of Gothic Revival architecture is nestled nearby in the Franklin Square Historic District, our sister neighborhood to the North. St. Luke’s was built as Franklin Square was landscaped in 1851. The nave and main aisles were designed by local architects Niernsee and Nielson. Transepts and a chancel were added during renovations after 1858 by the New York architects J. W. Priest and H. M. Congdon. |

| St. Peter the Apostle Roman Catholic Church |
| Poppleton and Hollins Streets |
Known as the “workers’ church,” construction of St. Peter’s began May 23, 1843 with its dedication on September 22, 1844. Notable for the Doric columns in front and Corinthian columns inside, it was designed by renowned Baltimore architect Robert Carey Long to recall the Athenian Temple of Hephaestus, god of fire and metallurgy. This theme was appropriate for a church with B&O railroad workers and Hayward-Bartlett ironworkers as parishioners. From its beginnings, the predominately Irish parish was also intended to include “colored persons.”

| South Calhoun and West Lombard Streets |
| This church opened in 1853 on land donated by the Donnells. The Greek Revival edifice is graced by four Ionic columns which, with those of the pavilion in the square, are some of the largest remaining cast iron columns in the city. |
