Regarding David's Evangelical Lutheran Church. Excerpt from the National
this page online
David's Evangelical Lutheran Church, built in 1881, is significant for it s well-preserved Gothic Revival ecclesiastical architecture. Significont architectural details of the church, designed in a side steeple plan, include its square brick tower and slate shingled steeple, exterior brick buttresses, stone foundation and watertable, and ornamental lancet arched stained glass windows. The church was designed by C.H. Griese of Cleveland, Ohio, who also designed the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Cleveland (1873).
Accommodating the German immigrant population of Canal Winchester in the 19th century, the Lutheran and German Reformed Church was well established by 1839, when they purchased a lot for construction of the union church. In 1881 the congregations split and each constructed a new church. The Lutherans built the above-mentioned church at #28 Elm Street.
