It also draws significance from its designers and craftsmen, including Benjamin Morgan, Minard Lafever's interior drawings, and plasterer Orren Bryant's ornate ceiling work.","narrative":"Built in 1837 on East Broadway in Granville, St. Luke's Episcopal Church is a white frame Greek Revival church measuring 38 feet across the front and 64 feet deep. A portico with two Doric columns fronts the building, corner pilasters carry a Greek key design, and a bell tower with a gold dome rises from the roof. Inside, original black walnut pews with aisle doors face a paneled ceiling with deep-relief stucco moldings and a central medallion. Funds for construction were donated by Sherlock Mower. Benjamin Morgan, an English-born architect living in Columbus, designed the church, adapting the bell tower from Asher Benjamin's pattern-book designs. Minard Lafever of New York supplied drawings for the interior, and Orren Bryant carried out the plastering during the winter of 1838. The church was recognized as an outstanding example of Greek Revival design in Ohio church architecture and survives largely as built.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"Benjamin Morgan, architect; Minard Lafever (interior design); Orren Bryant (plasterer)","architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as in excellent condition, occupied and in use as a church.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:10.170357-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/76001465.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76001465/dbd83102aa-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76001465/dbd83102aa-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Perry E.
