In 1884, the Lovely Lane Congregation decided to erect a new building in honor of the Christmas Conference. This current structure, designed by famous architect Stanford White, stands at the corner of St. Paul & 22nd Streets - where it is not only a grand monument to Methodist History, but an on-going ministry of stewartship and outreach, and fixture of community activity. The building is open for tours every Sunday after the service, and through the week by appointment. It is also home to the Lovely Lane Museum and Archives. Sunday Service: 10:00 am July / August Social Hour: 11:00 noon Sunday after the service Adult Bible Study: 9:00 am Sunday before the service Tours: Sunday at 11:00 am & weekdays by appointment

This is a beautiful building with twisted arches in the chapel, Tiffany stained glass windows, an absolutely gorgeous painted dome depictibg the night sky - complete with planets- on the night of the dedication of the Church. The tower lights up the night-time Baltimore skyline with a cross.

Even if you are not religious, just from an architectural point/ historical point of view, Lovely Lane is must see.
