Description
St. Lucas Hall, affiliated with St. Lucas German Evangelical Church (now UCC) at 33 W. Virginia St. "On July 14, 1889, Pastor Schmidt arrived in Evansville to lead a new German-Evangelical congregation. On July 21 St. Lucas was born. Dedication of the sanctuary took place on April 20, 1890. St. Lucas continued to grow and the Sunday School Hall was dedicated on October 27, 1907. The 21 stained glass windows were bestowed on September 21, 1911." During the 1937 flood the Indiana Naval Militia quartered in the parish house. The church office also became a broadcasting station of military forces.
