Grace Lutheran Church is the oldest church of the Lutheran denomination in Phoenix. Its architectural style is a classic American Gothic Revival. It was built between 1928 and 1929 at a cost of $48,000 (and no,that is not a typo!). The architecture features a cruciform plan (cross-like shape,) stained glass windows, buttressed walls, clerestories (vertical windows set high in the walls), unmatched towers and a gabled roof. I love the shadow cast by the large palm tree in front of the church in the early morning sun.

Neat photo, and I didn't know it was the oldest Lutheran church. What denomination is it? Missouri Synod? Wisconsin? Where is it located?
This is a beautiful church! Where is it located? $48,000! I bet that was a fortune back then.
