Several different building campaigns eventually produced this multispired brick church, which is one of the city's largest. The rectangular sanctuary of the 1850s still shows its Rundbogenstil origins. This German version of Romanesque Revival, obviously appropriate for Lutheran churches, is characterized by numerous round arches. In addition to arched windows, the gabled facade has a shallow row of corbeled brick arches forming a raking cornice. The two lucarne spires that flank the North Queen Street facade likely date from the 1884–1885
