This Episcopal church was designed by L.A. Fort and built in 1922. The 'Rock Church' on the corner of Central Avenue and Columbus Drive is easily identifiable.  Constructed of rocks dredged from the nearby Hillsborough River and donated by Harry P. Kennedy the   Church has all the features associated with the Gothic Revival, including steeply pitched roof, a tower and crenelation as well as stained glass windows. When the church was originally constructed it was situated in the fashionable Tampa Heights neighborhood.
