From the National Park gallery website in part:

"ST. LUKE'S CHURCH-The only black church in Reisterstown, St. Luke's was built in 1880 in the Gothic revival style, the most popular ecclesiastical style of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The very simple small structure immediately south may be the original church built immediately after the Civil War. The very simple Community Building west of the church was built in 1898.

Immediately after the Civil War a church and school were established for the black citizens of the town. Located on Bond Avenue about a block off Main Street, a black community developed from the church (St. Luke's Methodist) to Main Street!' Many of
the oldest houses dating from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are located along this stretch."
