"Holy Corners," a remarkable grouping of seven examples of early 20th-century institutional architecture, is located on Kings highway Boulevard in the Central West End. Perhaps the most spectacular building is the former Second Baptist Church at Kings Highway and Washington, a multi-hued brick complex with a tower and courtyard that looks as if it had been transported from northern Italy. Others include the Classical Revival-style St.John's Methodist Church, the Arts & Crafts-style Racquet Club, the Roman Temple-style former Temple Israel, the Greek Revival-style Tuscan Temple, the First Church of Christ, Scientist and the Washington Hotel.
