Faith Lutheran Church, Gothic Revival church in Quincy, United States.
Faith Lutheran Church is a church building in Quincy constructed from locally quarried granite and designed in the Gothic Revival style. The structure features pointed arches, steeply pitched rooflines, and detailed stonework that date from its 1894 completion.
The building was erected in 1894 by Swedish immigrants who worked in the town's granite quarries. Its construction represented the establishment of a stable community during the height of the local stone-cutting industry.
The congregation grew from Scandinavian families who came to Quincy to work in the local stone industry. The building itself reflects the craftsmanship and pride of these workers who built their community from the ground up.
The building sits in the town center and is accessible on foot, with its architecture visible from the street. Visitors are welcome to view the exterior and learn more from congregation members about the site's background.
The congregation members directly participated in quarrying and shaping the stone used to build their church. This hands-on involvement makes the building a rare example of community labor in late 1800s church construction.
