Photographer’s Note

This is Christ & St. Luke's Church in the Ghent section of Norfolk, Virginia. (Built 1909)
It's a gray granite building with limestone trim designed in a modified Tudor Gothic style. A high tower above the entrance is finished with elaborate finials. Foremost among the decorations are a bas-relief carved in Caen stone after Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper, and stained glass windows by Meyer of Munich.
The building was erected in 1909. The congregation has been formed by the merger of three churches: Christ Church, founded in 1798 on its separation from the Borough Church (St. Paul's); St. Luke's Church, organized in 1871; and St. Andrew's Church, formed about 1912.
