First Evangelical Lutheran Church – Last Looks

Since the planned demolition of First Lutheran Church last week was postponed last week due to the bad weather, I had a chance to snap some last shots this past weekend.

With the weather warming up, I'm guessing the demolition will be back on track soon.

Considering how bad I feel about this tragedy – and I hadn't attended services there since the mid-1960s – I can't imagine the pain that its current congregation and the people that depend on it for social services are feeling.

I was frankly surprised how big the church campus was; it's very deceiving seeing only the side that faces Sixth Street.

With the original Lorain High School long-gone, and soon First Lutheran, that part of town will have changed significantly in the last ten years – like much of Lorain.
