the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC) dedicated a state historical marker honoring John T. Comès and recognizing his accomplishments in church architecture. The marker was placed in front of the former St. Agnes Church at Carlow University, which was designed by Comès and opened in 1917. Carlow removed the historical marker in 2020 because it planned to demolish the church. Family John Comès was the father of notable American painter Marcella Comès Winslow.
