The St. James Episcopal Church is an Episcopal church located at 208 North 4th Street in Baton Rouge, Louisiana founded in 1840. Its Gothic Revival-style building, built during 1890-1895, was designed by architect Colonel W.L. Stevens. It replaced the original frame building of the church which had been built in 1845-46.[2][3]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1] It was then the second oldest Gothic Revival church in the city of Baton Rouge. Its NRHP nomination describes: "Because of its side tower and substantial proportions, it is closer in feeling to the ecclesiastical, mid-century Gothic Revival style than the older church, St. Joseph's, whose massing is symmetrical and whose proportions are thin and papery. The church is also a local landmark."[2][3]
