The Mariners' Church
Color lithograph, mounted on board, of a painting of the Mariners' Church by William A. Bostick. It is one of a series of twelve pieces entitled the "The Woods, Bricks, and Stones of Detroit, Vol. I." The piece is numbered 5/50 on the lower left and signed and dated "Wm A. Bostick 1974" on the lower right. The drawing shows the northwest corner of the church from Jefferson Avenue with a view to the southeast.
A label on the verso reads as follows:
"The Mariners' Church
170 East Jefferson Avenue
Mariners' Church was built in 1849 as a sailor's mission with funds provided in the will of Charlotte Ann Taylor and her sister, Mrs. Julia Ann Anderson. Designed by Calvin N. Otis, it is a simple stone structure in the Tudor Gothic style. In 1955 it was moved from lower Woodward Avenue to its present location on Jefferson Avenue at Randolph Street to make way for the new Civic Center. The tower was added after the moving.
