It is perhaps not a surprise that the several German churches in the Historic District have a North European flavor. George Frederick's 1865 design for St. James Roman Catholic Church relies on the contrasts effected by combining dark red brick with varied colored stones; these motifs, coupled with the tall, elaborate steeple with hexagonal spire, suggests easily the forms of early medieval German church architecture.
In like manner, the North Avenue (correct is North Baltimore not North Avenue) German Methodist Church, built on the northeast corner of Bond and Lafayette Streets in 1895 in rock-faced stone, makes use of more simplified, but none the less evocative North European medieval forms.
