DescriptionParkside Lutheran Church, Buffalo, New York - 20200518.jpg
English: Parkside Lutheran Church, 2 Wallace Avenue at Depew Avenue, Buffalo, New York, May 2020. Despite its name, the church has never in the course of its history been located in the
Parkside neighborhood: from its founding in 1912 as a mission church of the former St. John's Evangelical Lutheran on Hickory Street through 1924, it met in the
former Parkside Unitarian Church in the
Vernon Triangle, then for a short period of time in the former Otowega Club, in Central Park on what's now the site of Burke's Green which they co-owned with the
Central Park Methodist Episcopal and
Central Park Baptist Churches, then beginning in 1925 at their current building. Constructed of high-quality Indiana limestone, Parkside Lutheran sports a Tudor Revival design by architect Frank A. Spangenberg that's heavily influenced by Gothic Revival - witness the ubiquitous pointed arches, the buttresses ornamenting the façade near the entrance and at the base of the tower, and the trefoil patterns in the louvered window on the tower and in the tracery of the large stained-glass windows, which were completed and installed in 1951 by the Henry Lee Willett company of Philadelphia. Parkside Lutheran Church was named a Buffalo city landmark in 1992.
