GRACE LUTHERAN CHURCH
3835 Iberville Street, New Orleans, LA.
This building
is the original home of Grace Lutheran Church. In 1990, Grace Lutheran
Church merged with Immanuel Lutheran Church and relocated to a new building
on Canal Boulevard. The old church has been recycled as a fine restaurant.
Although this site does not feature advertising or commercialization of
any type, we felt it was important to show this beautiful church structure
even though it is now a place of business. This basic design was used
in many neighborhood Lutheran churches throughout New Orleans and the
North Shore.
Wood enclosure,
at rear, was originally the church's "cry room". It has been
adapted for use as a bar.
Stained
glass, at rear of altar area, still remain although this is now the passageway
to the kitchen. The original altar serves as a desk for waiters.
Although the organ was removed from this building
before it was converted to a restaurant, we have included a photo of the original
organ, and a copy of the organ's specifications, at the request of our viewers.
At the time of this writing, the Wicks instrument was installed in Prince Of
Peace Lutheran Church in New Orleans.
