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 waitors.
