Archimedes Russell: First English Lutheran Church
Archimedes Russell designed this magnificent building with his associate Melvin King in 1911 in the Mission style, a departure from his historic European earlier works.
From the present church's website:
Our building, the last church designed by Archimedes Russell and perhaps, to a great degree, by his draftsman/associate Melvin King, is unique in the catalog of Russell-designed edifices. Where Russell worked almost exclusively in the Gothic and Romanesque Revival idioms, FEL is an imposing Ohio sandstone structure with a red tile roof in the Mission style, filled with some of the Haskins Art Glass Factory’s finest examples of late-Victorian opalescent drapery glass.
