The Church of the Ascension and Saint Agnes traces to a group of Northwest Washington residents who broke from St. John's Episcopal Church at Lafayette Square in 1844 to form their own parish, formally established in 1845. The current Gothic-style building, designed by architect Charles L. Carson, was constructed in 1874 as the Church of the Ascension; in the late 1940s the congregation merged with the nearby St. Agnes Episcopal Church and adopted its present name. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
