Last Updated: 07-21-2003 D-253 ® St. ]ohn's Chapel Comersville 1853,1939 and later Public worship St. ]ohn's Chapel is one of the oldest and best preserved frame relialous buildings in Dorchester County. Built in 1852-53 for the Great Choptank Parish, the rectangular Gothic Revival inspired structure is distinctive for the late use of exposed and decorated framing members; including principal posts, rafters and pulins finished with chamfered edges and tapered stops. A pair of scissors trusses, decorated with chamfered edges terminating with tapefed stops, supports the center of the roof frame. The sanctuary interior is also distinguished by two blocks of mid-19th century slip pews featuring flat, pointed arch panels in each pew end. A two-panel door into the church office is also enhanced with flat panels. The exterior features pointed arch window and door openings; oririnal features to the mid-19th century building. St. ]ohn's Chapel is one of the eadiest extant exanples of a Gothic Revival inspired design on the lowef Eastern Shore. An asymmetrical bell tower, built with similar pointed arch features, was added to the northeast comer of the church in 1939. Other modifications were made to the church during the mid-to-late 20th century as well as building a separate vestry house southwest of the cburch in 1966. Constniction of St. John's Chapel is well documented in the archives of the Episcopal Church. Under the leadership of Reverend Theodofe P. Barber, the Episcopalian congregation in the Neck District was revived during the mid-19th century. An eadier structure erected near the head of Chapel Creek functioned during ® the late 18th and eady 19th centuries until services were discontinued. In a lettef to the 1 ® Bishop of Maryland, the RIcht Reverend W. 8. Whittingham, Reverend Barber wrote in Septembef 1851 : Pchaps I meM[honed to you in the Ice visitation ay long cl]eri§bed bape Of reuledngthe cburcb §eredces in the Neck Districira tbichb/ Settled neig/bborbood near Castle Haven.

Reverend Barber proceeded to estabhsh a revived Episcopal congregation near the head of Chapel Creek with the purchase of one acre of ground known as "Mitchell's Garden" for $25 in December 1851. The property was conveyed from ]oh]i Wesley and Mary Mitcheu to Reverend Barber, James Dixon, Bdce I. Goldsborough, James Blake, Joseph E. Muse, jr., Samuel W. Lecompte, Alexander H. Bayly, R. Tilg]iman Goldsborough, and Daniel M. Henry, vestryman of Great Choptank Parish. Within the fonowing months, probably beSnning in the flew construction season of 1852, the rectangular timber frame cbapel was assembled on the south side of the road leading down the center of the Neck District. The chapel was coflsecrated the fonowing spring on April 16, 1853. n Reverend Barber shapherded this congregation for over forty years until 1892. The church was dormant intermittently during the mid to late 1890s as well as pedods 2 during the eady 20th century. It reopened in 1936 and three years later, the congregation financed the construction of the comer bell towel, dedicating it to Reverend Barber in 1939. The tower was erected with a sensitive eye to the original design of the frame chapel with a pointed arch window opening and pointed arch openings in the belfry. Other changes to the building have been made to either side o the apse; all of which bave been creatively conceived and executed according to the oriSnal design of the 1852 budding. ® 3 Maryland Historical Trust Inventory No. D-253 Maryland Inventory of ® Historic properties Form 1.

Copyright 1989 by Martha & Bill Reamy Printed in the U.S.A. Published 1989 by FAMILY LINE PUBLICATIONS INTRODUCTION Every effort has been made to achieve accuracy in this project, but interpreting the enumerator's hand-written material has posed problems. As an aid to deciphering many poorly written and misspelled names, the "Wood's Baltimore City Directory, 1861" was consulted. When an entry was found in the Directory where the first name and occupation agreed with the Census listing and the surname appears to be similar, the City Directory spelling was added in brackets in the text and added to the index. The original enumeration at the National Archives was consulted for all proofreading. The enumerator took great liberties in the spelling of surnames. Sometimes when an entry for a household carried over from one page to another the enumerator changed the spelling of the surname. We have retained both spellings in this book. Surnames were occasionally spelled phonetically, e.g. the name written as Knobloch in the Baltimore City Directory appears as Noblock in the census. The user is cautioned to check the index for all possible variations. In some sections it is obvious that the information was transcribed from the original record column by column rather than across the page, line by line, with frequent misalignment of the data on a particular line.

  • St. Luke's Church M:23-78 Montgomery County, Maryland St
    St. Luke's Church M:23-78 Montgomery County, Maryland St. Luke's Church is located in Brighton, at the intersection of New Hampshire Avenue and Brighton Dam Road, in northeastern Montgomery County. The church, sited amidst several mature oak trees, occupies the northwestern corner of the rural crossroads, and has been a fixture in the local community since its erection in 1870. Associated with the church and located on its west side is a small cemetery with eight tombstones. St. Luke's Church was constructed in 1870 as an Episcopal church within St. Bartholomew's Parish, that also included St. John's .~ Church in Olney. St. Luke's is the second ecclesiastical building to have been erected on the site--the first being the Chapel of Ease, built in 1761, which following its destruction by fire in 1812, was rebuilt several miles from this site. Although St. Luke's Church provides a representative example of late 19th- century rural church architecture and is a notable rural landmark, the building has been enlarged and altered and no longer retains sufficient integrity to meet the Criteria of the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties or the National Register of Historic Places.
