Baltimore - Mount Vernon: Mount Vernon Methodist Church
Made by wallyg
The northeast corner of is framed by the black and green stones of the Mount Vernon United Methodist Church. Originally conceived as a cathedral of Methodism it was built on the site of the Charles Howard mansion. It was in this house that Howard's father in law, Francis Scott Key, died. The church architects, Thomas Dixon and Charles Carson, created a rarity in Baltimore architecture by designing a Gothic building, one of only three in the city. The high peaked roof soars above the nave resting on ten granite columns. The pews are handcarved American walnut and now seat 900 people. The unique exterior of the building is due in part to its walls of green serpentine, grey stone, and sandstone. Its steeple soars above the surrounding buildings but ends just 12 inches below George Washington's head. It was planned to be taller, but a compromise with the city lowered it below the height of the new memorial. It was finished November 12, 1872.

9 july 2007, an historic church in west baltimore, md was struck by lightning. the steeple, which was hit, had already fallen to the ground, & the fire continued to rage inside the church, which was a total loss.
waiting for fireworks
Made by Idle Type
We were sitting on the south side of the Inner Harbor. It was way too hot. The crowd was way too large and way too annoying. The fireworks were way too short. And I was way too moody. A good time was had by all.
urban excavation

Continuing my recent urban architecture theme. I like the way the city looks like a layer cake from this vantage point.
