St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church is a church located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The complex is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was designated a Milwaukee Landmark.
Description
St. John's congregation was founded by German immigrants and was previously affiliated with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). Members of the church, along with the neighboring Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church helped to seed a number of other Lutheran churches in the area. In the 1850s there were discussions to merge both congregations, but theological differences prevented this from occurring.
The church was designed by German born architect Herman Schnetzky, and his understudy Eugene Liebert, in Gothic Revival style and built in 1889. As with the Trinity Church building, it features landmark spires of unequal height and is considered to be one of the finest examples of German Lutheran Church architecture in the United States. Other parts of the church complex were constructed in Queen Anne architectural style.
