History

From Cincinnati: Over-The-Rhine - A Historical Guide To 19th Century Buildings And Their Residents (Abridged Edition) by Robert J. Wimberg:

"First English Lutheran Church, 1208 Race.
This congregation can date its history back to 1814 when Rev. Joseph Zaeslein became pastor. However, this Pennsylvanian missionary died before his new congregation could build a firm foundation. In 1814, the English Lutheran Church was formally organized through the efforts of Rev. Jacob Criger.

In 1895, the Race Street church designed by the architects, Crapsey and Brown, was constructed. The Gothic window is the focal point of the facade. The Tower is 130 feet high."
