Eight spires are visible from the belvedere of the Bellamy Mansion and many more religious buildings are tucked amongst the trees of downtown Wilmington. Join us on Tuesday evening to hear the history that surrounds them, the architecture that formed them, and the stories of the people that worship within them.

Edward F. Turberg is an architectural historian, researcher, National Register consultant, restoration specialist, tour leader, and lecturer. He is the historian at St. James Episcopal Church and has worked on innumerable tax credit projects, research assignments, and the creation of hundreds of historic plaques.

The religious history of this port city is rich and diverse. The architectural history is rich and diverse. And, while the people may not always be rich, they are certainly diverse.
Come along and hear their stories
