MOUNT VERNON PLACE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH by LoriPori
Located on the north east corner of the Washington Monument, at 10 East Mount Vernon Place, the MOUNT VERNON PLACE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH is a rarity in Baltimore architecture as it is a Gothic building. The high peaked roof soars above the nave, resting on ten granite columns. The unique exterior of the building is due to its walls of green serpentine, grey stone and sandstone. I was completely in awe of this structure, which was completed on November 12, 1872. It is so overwhelmingly beautiful. Too bad it was closed when we were there. I would have loved to see the interior. On the door was a posting which read. "Tours are conducted from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday thru Friday." -- and we were there on a Saturday. Sighhhh!
