Former St. Paul the Apostle Episcopal Church (Henshaw Memorial),
now Mobtown Ballroom, is included in the Pigtown Historic District.
The TEXT from that National Register of Historic Places Registration Form:
"The District's first Episcopal Church, Henshaw Memorial, outgrew its building on the corner of Barre and Carroll Streets and in the 1890s erected a massive brick structure with a stone façade on the south side of Washington Boulevard, just east of Calendar Street.
The church is built in an Italian Romanesque style and has a long nave anchored by a corner tower with pyramidal roof. The predominant decorative motif is the set of three tall arched openings supported on granite columns, set on a tall base in the center of the façade. The openings undoubtedly originally framed stained glass windows, but are now filled with brick. Above, a group of five arched piercings light the clerestory. Two very wide arched entranceways flank the central nave; one in the base of the tower, the other serving as the entrance to both the church and the parish house to the east."
