St. John's Episcopal Church is a historic church in Saginaw, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
St. John's Episcopal Church was established in 1851. The original congregation met at the courthouse until 1853, when they constructed a small church, located near where the present structure is now located. By the 1880s, the church membership had outstripped the capacity of this building. In 1883, the congregation hired architect Gordon W. Lloyd to design a new building, and the cornerstone of the present church was laid. When the new building was finished, the church bell from the old building was installed in the new church. In 1887 and 1888, the congregation constructed a parish house and rectory at the site of the original 1853 building.[2]
