| Additional Information: | Photo code: OS 14/19. The Christ Lutheran Church is an example of the Queen Anne style with classical overtones. The facade originally culminated in a corner steeple with bay and pediment adjoining. The nave area is lit by a large rose window accented by an arch form. Although still an interesting design, removal of the steeple and relocation of the structure to its present site (as well as redesigning of the entrance) result in it is designation as contributing rather than pivotal in the Irving-Church district. Leopold Frank was the contractor. |
