Trinity English Lutheran Church, Dallas, Texas
historic place
Trinity English Lutheran Church, located at 3100 Martin Luther King, Jr., Boulevard in Dallas, Texas, is recognized as a historic place. The church building, constructed in 1922, exhibits a Late Gothic Revival architectural style. The Trinity English Lutheran congregation has been associated with this property since 1908, when its first frame church was built on the site. This church is notable as the oldest English-speaking Lutheran church in Dallas. It is considered one of the least-altered and best-preserved historic neighborhood churches in South Dallas. The congregation, originally part of the Missouri Synod, moved to North Dallas in 1960. The building is now home to Mount Olive Lutheran Church, an African-American congregation formed in 1940, which became a driving force for Civil Rights. Trinity English Lutheran Church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 23, 1995.
