First Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1401-1405 Twelfth Ave Altoona, Blair County, PA
The First Evangelical Lutheran Church (1896-97) was the last Gothic Revival-style church to be built in downtown Altoona. The 5th home of a congregation organized in 1834, the church was planned by Charles M. Robinson at a time when other downtown congregations were replacing their dated Gothic structures with more eclectic design schemes derived from a full spectrum of architectural traditions. In addition to displaying finely crafted clustered columns and other intricate woodwork, the church`s well-preserved interior features some of Altoona`s finest bevelled and stained glass windows, a myriad of multicolor floral, geometric and religious designs.
