702 Cathedral Street
The building at 702 Cathedral Street, often referred to as the Christian
Science Building, was built in 1847. In 1856, the building was purchased by William T. Albert who hosted President Abraham Lincoln on his visit to Baltimore in April of 1861.
The Third Church of Christ Scientist bought the building in 1924 completely changed the facade and converted it to a house of worship with reading rooms, music halls and a 250-seat auditorium.
Agora Publishing bought 702 Cathedral in 1995 and completed renovations in the spring of 1997. The renovations were extensive including upgrades of plumbing and electrical systems. In addition, a domed skylight with hand-painted Italian glass was fully restored and is now the crowning detail of the dramatic staircase.
In addition to our Information Technology and Customer Service offices the building has an apartment for interns who come from all over the world. The auditorium is used for company meetings and seminars.
