Description:
|
St. John's was Cincinnati's first German congregation, organized in 1814 by Joseph Zaeslin who gathered both German Protestants and Catholics as the German Evangelical Lutheran and Reformed Church. "The facade replicates a temple front. An unbroken entablature marks it; simple Doric pilasters define the clock tower. Gothic arches enliven Greek Revival severity in this massively proportionated edifice. The church never had a steeple." Underneath "1850" on the facade is engraved: "Wahrheit, Tugend, Freiheit" (truth, virtue, freedom)."
