}}St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church, or Iglesia Luterana San Pedro, is a historic church complex located in the Walker's Point neighborhood of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Its buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[2][3]

History

St. Peter's congregation (Evangelisch Lutherischen St. Peters Gemeinde) was founded February 14, 1860 by German immigrants, with 34 charter members. In 1861 they bought a frame building for their first church and moved it to the corner of South Eighth and West Scott Streets. In 1866 they built a small brick-clad Gothic-influenced church designed by John Rugee. In 1873 they added the frame parsonage which still survives, then the school in 1879.[2] In 1884, 13 families were released from the congregation to establish Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church.{{Citation needed|date=February 2017}} The congregation is affiliated with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS).[4]

The current church building was designed by Milwaukee architect Andrew Elleson in Victorian Gothic style and built in 1885. It has a cruciform floor-plan, with a massive square tower on each side of the front entrance - one 100 feet tall and the other 165 feet tall. The pedimented gables on the larger tower have a German flavor, similar to St. Mary's in Lubeck. The spires on the towers and the peak of the gable are topped with crosses. The interior is well-preserved, with the altar standing in a tall apse, and in front of an antique white wood reredos. To the altar's left is an elevated goblet-shaped pulpit. A U-shaped balcony rings the sides and back of the nave, a common feature of 18th century churches in Germany. A large pipe organ commands the back.[2]

Other remaining structures in the complex are:

  • The 1873 parsonage is south of the church - a wood frame building in simplified Italianate style. It is now used for church offices.[5]
  • The 1879 school building stands across the street from the church - a 2-story Italianate-styled brick building designed by architect John Rugee.[6]
  • The 1898 social hall designed by O.C. Uehling stands south of the school.[7]

In 1860 the congregation and building rose out of a working-class neighborhood of modest homes of immigrants. The south side is not so different in 1987.[2]
