East High Street Churches Walking Tour

Springfield’s houses of worship serve as anchors in the revitalization of our historic neighborhoods. The East High Street Historic District is home to three landmark churches close to downtown: Christ Church, designed by the eminent Detroit architect Gordon W. Lloyd (1874); High Street United Methodist Church, one of Frank Packard’s best examples of the Craftsman Style (1904); and the spectacular St. Raphael Catholic Church, designed by local architect Charles A. Cregar (1897). Join Michelle Boomgaard, rector of Christ Church, as she delves into the history and architecture of these ecclesiastical landmarks. Meet at Christ Church, 409 East High Street.
