St. John's Episcopal Church is an antebellum-era church located at 2326 Woodward Avenue (at the corner of Woodward and the Fisher Freeway service drive) in Downtown Detroit, Michigan. It is the oldest church still standing on Woodward Avenue, an area once called Piety Hill for its large number of religious buildings.[3] The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982[1] and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1987.[2]
