PETWORTH GETS new CHURCH
Presbyterians Buy Site at New
Hampshire and Georgia Avenues.
Subdivision Has but One House of
Worship. which shelters
Growing Congregation.

Plans are now well-matured for a new
church in the subdivision of Petworth.
The point of ground formed by the juno
ton OF Georgia and New Hampshire ave-
nues has been acquired by the board of
church extension of the United Presby-
terian Church, and this society viii erect
the edifice. The ground was sold by Mrs
Catherine A. LOffier to the Presbyterian
board through Shannon & Luchs. it is
said, for 1850,
1t is the intention Of the purchasers TO
erect a small church on the lot. which
has a frontage on both avenues and runs
back about 200 feet. II is an ideal place
for a house of worship, being similar to
that of the Luther Place Memorial
Fourteenth and n streets 1t will be the
first church Of this branch of Presby-
terians in Washington.
The rapid growth of Petworth and the
permanent location of many Presbyterian
families in the subdivision is the principal
incentive to the erection Of the church at
that point. At present PetwOrth has
only a Methodist church, erected several
years ago. which houses a vigorous and
growing congregation. Rock Creek Epis-
copal Church in Rock Creek Cemetery.
is also well attended by families living
in Petworth, but It is thought there is
ample room for the new Presbyterian
congregation which will soon be estab-
lished there.
1t is said TO be the intention of the
Baptist denomination to enter Petworth
some time this year, though it has not
yet been settled where the proposed
church viii be located. It is probable,
however, that the site VIII be chosen
near the north end of the subdivision,
with the purpose of drawing worshipers
from Brightwood Park and Saurs Addi-
ton, both of which subdivisions are
rapidly building up.
