All Saints Episcopal Church / Gordon W. Lloyd

An Episcopal parish was organized in Saugatuck on All Saints´ Day, November 1, 1868. Services were held at various locations until 1873. In 1871 the parish purchased this property. Detroit architect Gordon W. Lloyd designed the Gothic Revival style church building. Although services were first held on January 25, 1873, the church was not completed until 1874. After a period of decline that caused the parish to become a diocesan mission, full parish status was restored in 1946. Gordon W. Lloyd Gordon W. Lloyd (1832-1904) was among the Midwest´s foremost church architects. He was trained at England´s Royal Academy, under the tutelage of his uncle, Ewan Christian.
