Old Mariner's Church

Located on East Jefferson Avenue, this church was built in 1849 and originally stood on Woodward Avenue. It was moved to its present location in 1955 to make way for the construction of the civic center. The interior of the stone Gothic Revival church incorporates 19th century nautical design into Christian symbolism. The memorial service and blessing of the fleet commemorating those who have died at sea is held the second Sunday in March.

Guided tours are available by request.
