The Lutheran church and the neighboring courthouse (2.28) form one of the most engaging architectural pairings of trust-lot buildings and the diversity of architectural possibilities such prominent sites inspire. Initially established in 1741 at Ebenezer twenty-five miles northwest of Savannah, the congregation relocated to Savannah by 1771. In 1844 they erected a Greek Revival church on this site, whose walls were retained in a redesign of the building by Clarke (an amateur architect who worked for a local bindery company), modeled after a design for a “Village Church” in the “Romanesque style” in Samuel Sloane’s The Model Architect (1852, volume 1, design XIX).
