Luther Place Memorial Church, Gothic Revival church in Thomas Circle, Washington, D.C., United States
The red sandstone church features an octagonal tower, buttressed facades, and cast iron columns supporting a wooden ceiling with Gothic tracery details.
The church was established in 1873 as Memorial Evangelical Lutheran Church to symbolize reconciliation after the American Civil War ended.
Two original pews were dedicated to Generals Grant and Lee, while a bronze statue of Martin Luther stands at the entrance since 1884.
The church operates N Street Village, providing housing and support services for homeless women in Washington D.C. since the late 1960s.
The Luther Monument in front of the church is a replica of the statue in Worms, Germany, given by German Emperor William I.
