Evangelische Lutherische Dreienigkeit Kirche - Grand Island, Nebraska - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"Plans for the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, in Grand Island, were adopted in 1890, but construction did not begin until 1894. Brothers William and Jacob Scheffel, members of the congregation, were the primary builders. Born in Sulzfeld, Germany, the brothers learned the trade of masonry and stonecutting there. The church, the key building in the complex, is an excellent example of the Romanesque Revival style and is one of Nebraska's outstanding examples of small town stone church architecture. Trinity Church reflects subtle influences of German church architecture, primarily evident in its form, the cross shape, a favorite style among Germans." ~ Nebraska State Historical Society website

The church is now called Cristo Cordero de Dios Iglesia Evangelica Luterana Church, the first Hispanic Lutheran congregation in Nebraska.
