Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church
Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church, Gothic Revival church in Walker's Point, Milwaukee, United States.
Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church is a Gothic Revival brick structure characterized by pointed arches and sandstone accents in the Walker's Point neighborhood. The building combines red brick walls with a distinctive spire that rises above the surrounding streets.
Thirteen families founded the congregation in 1884, initially meeting in a private home before building their first wooden structure. The current brick building arose from the community's growth and was later recognized as a heritage site.
The church displays different periods of furnishing and decoration within its spaces, with original seating in the balcony area and later additions on the main level near period stained glass. These layers show how the congregation adapted and updated its worship space over time.
The church sits on West Greenfield Avenue in the Walker's Point area, with its spire serving as a landmark for navigation. Visitors can approach on foot and find parking in the surrounding neighborhood streets.
The basement windows on the west wall were intentionally cut at angles to channel afternoon sunlight deep into the interior space. This practical design choice reflects careful planning by the builders to improve the internal environment.
