These types of Lutheran churches can be found in just about every neighborhood in Philadelphia. This one resembles a 19th century church given the materials and architecture used in its construction. The edifice is made of stone and was built in 1932 according to the cornerstone. The date stone can be found to the right of the main entrance which faces Ryan Avenue. It is on the corner (almost), four feet off the ground, dark gray and blends in well with the indigenous stone. Besides a cross in the front reaching into the sky, there is nothing more remarkable about the church building.
