Former Madison Square Methodist Episcopal Church - Baltimore MD - Methodist Churches on Waymarking.com

The TEXT of the National Register of Historic Places Registration Form page 70, block 1191.

"The first lot to be sold, in 1864, at the south end of Caroline Street, went to the Trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the North Baltimore Station. The church design is a simplified version of the well-known Charles Street Methodist Church, built in 1844 at Charles and Fayette Streets, a structure whose elegance and prominent location influenced the design of churches of several denominations at mid-century. Design elements borrowed from the Charles Street church include the full-height pilasters framing the bays and the bracketed door and window pediments, as well as the basic temple form design, although the plainer Madison Square Church lacks a classical portico. It goes without saying, however, that his Methodist church took on a much more simple and conservative form than the nearby Roman Catholic churches of St. John the Evangelist and St. James. The St. Francis Xavier congregation bought the church building in 1931 and later sold it to the East Baltimore Deliverance Church when it moved further north to the old St. Paul's Roman Catholic Church."
