St. John's Episcopal Church (Lafayette Square) - 'Church of the Presidents' installations

St. John’s Episcopal Church, Lafayette Square, located across from the White House, is commonly known as the 'Church of the Presidents' because U.S. presidents beginning with James Madison have attended services there. The church contains historic memorials, stained-glass windows, and dedicated interior installations commemorating clergy and parish history, and it has been the site of numerous presidential and national ceremonies. It remains an active Episcopal parish and a documented historic site adjacent to Lafayette Square.
