Wikipedia Description: St. John's Episcopal Church, Lafayette Square (Washington, D.C.)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

St. John's Episcopal Church, Lafayette Square, is an historic Episcopal church located at 16th and H Streets, NW, in Washington, D.C. It is near Lafayette Square and the White House.

Beginning with James Madison, every president has at least been an occasional attendee, giving this church its nickname, "Church of the Presidents." The 54th pew is the President's Pew, and is reserved for the chief executive's use when in attendance.

Organized as a parish in 1815, it was named for Saint John, the Evangelist. The first service was held at St. John's Church in October 1816. It was designed by Benjamin Latrobe, designer of the U.S. Capitol Building, and is constructed of stucco-covered brick, taking the form of a Greek cross. In 1820, the portico and tower were added.

In 1902, the formal state funeral of British ambassador Lord Pauncefote took place in St. John's Church.

Artwork in the church includes two sculptures by Jay Hall Carpenter, a chapel cross in polished brass, and Ascent Into Heaven, a 3/4 lifesize bronze angel and child overlooking the church's columbarium.

In 1966, St. John's Church was placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the U.S. Department of the Interior.

2021 photos: It's too early to have anything but hope for this year. With luck, the restoration of sanity in the White House for a change and the rapid roll-out of vaccines will eventually return the year to one of my normal ones.
Partially Reviewed: Rough draft. I've gone through these pictures once, removing the worst ones, some duplication, etc. I usually take sequences of 4 or 5 pictures at a time and there are lots of near duplicates. I'll be doing a final review later which will cull the pictures down some. To be honest though, I'm way behind on doing final reviews.
