- Description:
- "Considered the mother church of American Methodism, Lovely Lane was designed by architect Stanford White in 1884. The monumental Etruscan-Romanesque structure was built as a centennial monument to commemorate the founding of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Baltimore...2200 St. Pau l Street. 410-889-1512." (Source: ) "Lovely Lane Methodist Church, designed by Stanford White, is built in the Romanesque style of the early churches and basilicas in Ravenna, Italy. The most commanding feature of the exterior is the square bell tower at the southeast corner of the building patterned after the campanile of the twelfth-century church of Santa Maria, Abbey of Pomposa, near Ravenna. Construction was begun in 1884, under the Reverend John F. Goucher. The church was consecrated in 1887. The Women's College of Baltimore, fou nded in 1885 by Reverend Goucher and others, occupied several similar buildings still standing adjacent to the church."
