All Saints’ Episcopal Church traces its beginnings back to 1883. William E. Comstock, one of the original settlers of Winter Park, was instrumental in organizing services of the Church. With the aid of Dr. and Mrs. Charles Switzer, Mrs. Molly Stovin, Mary Brown, and Mary McClure, Mr. Comstock began Morning Prayer services in an upstairs room over a grocery store.
In 1938, architect Ralph Adams Cram was chosen to design and build a new church building at 338 East Lyman Avenue. In 1940, the present plan was adopted and a fund drive was undertaken. On December 23, 1941, the cornerstone was laid; on Palm Sunday, March 29, 1942, opening services were held.
With great zeal, the vestry and congregation worked to retire the debt on the church. On Easter, April 6, 1947, they all celebrated the consecration of the Church.
On January 7, 2000, All Saints’ Episcopal Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
