All Saints' Church, Ashmont, began in 1867 as a mission of St. Mary's Church under the guidance of Miss Hannah Austin, later Sister Hannah, who in 1897 was in charge of the Church Hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota.[citation needed]
It is located in the Southern part of Dorchester, Massachusetts and is a short walk from the Ashmont T station on the Red Line.
Douglass Shand Tucci said of the church: "Architect Ralph Adams Cram's first church, designed in partnership with Bertram Goodhue, was All Saints', Ashmont. A significant landmark in American architectural history, All Saints' is, of its type, Cram and Goodhue's masterpiece, and a model for American parish church architecture for the first half of the 20th century."[citation needed]
The Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
