Stone Church Condos Then and Now
Contender for the Faith Church in 1973
495 Ashland Avenue was originally the site of Saint John the Evangelist Episcopal Church. Built in 1885 by Cass Gilbert, a fire destroyed the sanctuary. The church was rebuilt in 1908 by Thomas Holyoke. All that remains of Gilbert’s work is a guildhall on the north end of the building. The church has been used by a variety congregations including St. Paul Universalist, First Seventh Day Adventist and more recently the Contender for the Faith Church. During the Depression the building was home to a “Russian Theater.” It was converted to condominiums in 1981.
