Stephen Bloomer Balch was the revered pastor
of the Georgetown Presbyterian Church from

leader in Georgetown civic and cultural affairs,
most notably as the founding principal of the
Columbian Academy and as a co-founder of the
Columbian Library. Earlier he served as a
captain in the Revolutionary War from 1775
to 1777. This site was restored in 2007 by
members of the Georgetown Presbyterian Church. |
