Was just coming to make this thread.

It was built in 1815. Beginning with James Madison, until the present, every person who has held the office of President of the United States has attended a service at St. John’s. Several early Presidents were communicants, as were more recent ones. Thus, St. John’s is known as “the Church of the Presidents” and is registered as a National Historic Landmark.

The bell in St. John’s steeple weighs nearly 1,000 pounds. It was cast by Paul Revere’s son, Joseph, at his Boston foundry in August 1822, and installed November 30, 1822. President James Monroe authorized a $100 contribution of public funds toward its purchase, as it also served as an alarm bell for the neighborhoods and public buildings in the vicinity of the church. St. John’s bell is one of two Revere bells in Washington, both cast and installed in churches during 1822. However, of the two, St. John’s bell is the only one that has been in continuous service since its installation.

They’ll destroy history, then bitch and moan when some “sacred native site” is disturbed.



Seriously, now I support the riot cops going in and cracking skulls.

Thanks progs, you’ve forced me once again to take the side of a militarized police force
