St. Luke's Episcopal Church, formerly the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection, is a historic Episcopal church in the Sayler Park neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Designed in the 1870s by master architect Samuel Hannaford, it has been named a historic site.

History

The community of Fernbank was

Music Hall near downtown, and after many years of partnership, he was beginning to operate his firm by himself.[4]: 11  St. Luke's is typical of Hannaford's churches from the period, most of which were stone Gothic Revival structures.[4]

Architecture

One

vestibule with large timbers visible for structural support. These elements, together with the small ogive windows set into the walls, lend the building the appearance of an English country church.[2]

Preservation

From its earliest years, the parish was known as the Church of the Resurrection, and it retained this name into the 1970s,[2] although its name has since been changed to that of St. Luke. The parish is subject to the jurisdiction of the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio.[6]

In 1977, the Church of the Resurrection was listed on the

multiple property submission of buildings designed by Samuel Hannaford and/or his sons. Although it was already listed on the Register, the Church of the Resurrection was included within the multiple property submission as another significant Hannaford design.[4]

The building changed hands in 2021 and was sold to the Hillgrove family, a significant exterior restoration has since started and the building will be converted to a private residence. A consecrated Altar still stands to the rear of the property.
