I could have sworn I’ve photographed this church more than the couple of images from years ago, but nonetheless I was drawn back to Zion Lutheran, right on St. Louis Place Park, after visiting the cemetery up the Rock Road.
I realized most of my photos are vertical, which is only appropriate for a Gothic Revival structure, where the lines draw the eyes upward.
Interestingly, despite being a German Evangelisch Lutheran church, it is more Late English Gothic in style.
As with many buildings throughout the city, less expensive materials are used on the private sides of the church; there was so much optimism that another large building would be built next door, eventually.
