(St. Andrew's Russian Orthodox Church at the northwest corner of Lombard and Chester Streets (#49) was built in 1887 for the congregation of the Washington Street M. P. Church. Constructed of random ashlar stone masonry and trimmed with red sandstone, it is a simple but imposing Gothic Revival styled structure. A bell tower, porch, transept, and rectory skirt the nave, and fill the half block face of Lombard Street between Castle and Chester (#50).)

East Baltimore Station Methodist Episcopal Church-Photos 51 and 52

The East Baltimore Station Methodist Episcopal Church at the southeast corner of Baltimore and Washington Streets (photos # 51 and 52) was completed just two years later (1889)(see above St. Andrews 1887), and is the most architecturally ambitious building in Butchers Hill.

It compares favorably with the best ecclesiastical architecture commissioned in Baltimore in the period. Romanesque Revival in styling, it is also constructed of random ashlar stone masonry and trimmed with sandstone. A tall cone shaped roof caps the tower surmounting the Baltimore Street entrance porch.

On the same side, the nave's gabled roof is broken by gabled wall dormers, cylindrical stone chimneys, and eyelid roof vents. The stained glass and masonry are in desperate need of stabilization.
