St. John the Evangelist Episcopal Church, Newport, RI

More properly known as Zabriskie Memorial Church of St. John the Evangelist, the church was originally founded in 1875 by Peter and Harriet Quire. In 1893, facing an uncertain financial future, the congregation recieved a generous gift from Sarah Titus Zabriskie, a friend of U.S. Navy captain (and later admiral) Alfred Thayer Mahan. This enabled the construction of the current church, the interior of which is pictured here.
