The Starr Methodist Protestant Church
This church is called after Wesley Starr, who being ardently attached
to old Methodist usages, and finding that they were being abandoned by
most of the Methodist Churches, determined to perpetuate them as far
as he could by the erection of a church, the charter of which should
require their observance.
Accordingly, in the spring of 1863 he commenced the erection of the
present edifice at the corner of Poppleton and Lemmon Streets, but
after having made considerable progress the work was suspended. In
March 1864, the property was formally donated in its unfinished
condition to the Maryland Annual Conference of the Methodist
Protestant church, with the understanding that the recipients should
finish and furnish the basement, which was completed and dedicated
June 12, 1864. Mr. Starr completed the audience-room at his own cost,
and it was dedicated December 11, 1864.
The ground on which the church and parsonage stand was the gift of Mr.
Starr, who also left the church an annuity. In 1865 Starr Church was
made a separate charge, and Rev. W. M. Hopkins became its pastor.
