St. John's Lutheran Church is a historic Lutheran church in Huron County, Michigan. It is located at 4527 Second St. in Port Hope, Michigan.[2] The Victorian Gothic style church was built in 1899. It was added to the National Register in 1987. [3]
The St. John's Lutheran Church congregation in Port Hope was established in 1868.[4] In 1870, Rev. W. Schwartz, a traveling missionary, took charge of the congregation, and soon, with the arrival of more settlers, the congregation grew.[5] In 1871, the congregation constructed a frame church on this site. By 1876, the congregation was large enough to warrant its own pastor.[5] By 1899, the earlier structure proved inadequate, and the congregation constructed this one.[6] A wing was added in 1981. The church still serves the original congregation.[4]
Descriptionedit
St. John's Lutheran Church is long and narrow brick Gothic structure with a steeply pitched gable roof. The front facade is symmetrical, with a central projecting square-plan tower topped with a wooded belfry and spire. Along the sides are pointed-arch windows filled with stained glass, separated by stone-trimmed, brick buttresses. A rear, gable-roofed projection holds the chancel. On one side, attached via a short corridor, is a cross-gable-roof, one-story wing, added in 1981, with a style closely matching that of the original 1899 church.[6]
Inside, the sanctuary contains stained wood pews flanking a central aisle. Above is a plaster ceiling, sloping on the sides and flat the center. In the rear is a gallery with the organ.[6]
