Former St. John's Reformed Church - Thurmont MD - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

National Register of Historic Places Registration Form

"The St. John's Church at Creagerstown Historic District includes St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church (1908), the Parish House (c. 1880, built at Creagerstown School No. 2), the now-vacant St. John's Reformed Church building (1834, 1916), and the surrounding cemetery as historic setting. The district is significant for its architecture; its two church buildings are examples of popular 18th and early 20th century ecclesiastical architectural styles as applied in a rural setting in the mid-Atlantic region. Still located within its historic cemetery setting, the now-vacant Reformed Church building was constructed in 1834 in a simplified transitional Federal/Greek Revival-influenced style typical of rural churches in west-central Maryland and south-central Pennsylvania. Officially established in 1787 as a Union Lutheran and German Reformed Church, the two congregations divided in 1905. While the Lutheran congregation constructed a new church on the adjoining lot in 1908, in the late Gothic Revival ecclesiastical style, the Reformed congregation, which remained in the old church, remodeled the old building in 1916."
