The Gethsemane Evangelical Lutheran Church is a church located at 4461 Twenty-Eighth Street in Detroit, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1980[2] and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1] The building now houses the Motor City Missionary Baptist Church.

History

In the late 1800s, German-speaking immigrants began moving into southwest Detroit.[2] The Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church on Military Street was established in 1882 to service this influx of people.[2] The new congregation quickly swelled, and in 1890, the elders of Zion started a daughter congregation, commissioning the architectural firm of Spier & Rohns to design a wooden structure costing no more than $2000 to build.[2] This building is the only known example of a wooden church designed by the firm.[8]

The church was completed in 1891; a wooden parsonage was added the next year and a brick school was built in 1923.[3] The latter two building are included in the city historical listing, while on the church is on the National and state listing.[3]

The Gethsemane Evangelical Lutheran Church was built in 1891; the congregation used the building until 1976, when they went defunct. The building was purchased by the Motor City Missionary Baptist Church in 1978.[2] The Motor City Baptist Church congregation was organized in 1967 by Rev. John W. Haynes and his wife Inez.[3]

Description

The Gethsemane Evangelical Lutheran Church is a wooden, Carpenter Gothic chapel.[4] It is frame construction with gables at the ends, a central tower, and vestibule in front. The original clapboard siding still clads the building,[4] although white paint has replaced the original cream-and-gold with red-and-blue accent[2] color scheme. Each side has five tall lancet-arched, stained-glass windows, and the eaves are trimmed with hollow curved brackets and a paneled frieze.[4][2]

The interior is unusually well-preserved.[4] The interior walls feature vertical board wainscoting, with the area above covered in cream painted canvas.[3] The church organ is located on a rear balcony.[3]

The altar from Gethsemane is now used by Christ our Savior Lutheran Church in Livonia, Michigan.
