35 East Church Street

The 150 feet high twin octagonal spires are of the most prominent features of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. Constructed in 1854, the congregation looked toward Norman Gothic architectural style to replace the single tower structure of the original church built in 1762. As with the All Saints Episcopal Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church also served as an improvised field hospital for troops during the Battle of Antietam in 1862. This new structure is constructed with brick covered by stucco, with brown accents bordering the ledges and windows. The facade has three dark red doors elevated from the sidewalk. The central door pierces a small temple front flanked by double lancet windows. Above the entrance you can see another temple front on the south side of the nave pierced by three large lancet windows.
