Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church of Manhattan is aLutheran church located at 164West 100th Street just east ofAmsterdam Avenue, on theUpper West Side ofManhattan inNew York City. It was founded in 1888[2] as theGerman Evangelical Lutheran Church to serve German immigrants moving into the Upper West Side. It initially held services in a storefront until money had been raised to buy land and build a sanctuary.[3]
The double-height brick and stone masonry church building was constructed in 1908, and was designed byGeorge W. Conable in theGothic Revival style.[4][5] In the 1950s, the building was slated for demolition as part ofRobert Moses'urban renewal program, but the parish resisted and eventually, after 10 years, won the battle. It became the only structure within 32 acres (13 ha) in its neighborhood not to have been razed by Moses.[3] On September 26, 2009, the building was listed on theNational Register of Historic Places.[1][6]
The church is a member congregation of theEvangelical Lutheran Church in America and is aReconciling in Christ partner.[7]
