St. John’s Church on Lafayette Square near the White House was built in 1816 and designed by U.S. Capitol architect Benjamin Latrobe. St. John’s is known as the “Church of the Presidents” because every president since James Madison has attended at least one service there.

Historian and church member Richard Grimmett gave a tour of the national historic landmark. He talked about the history of the church and the people who attended it.
