The German Evangelical Church, Halston-street, Lower-road, Islington, 1862.

Comfortable seat accommodation is provided, including that in gallery in apse, for nearly 350 persons...the works have...been very satisfactorily completed by Mr. Sargeant, of Beech- street, Barbican, the builder, under the superintendence of the architect [Mr. T. W. Constantine]...The entire cost of the building will be about £1700'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases The German Evangelical Church, situated on Halston-street, Lower-road, Islington, in the heart of London, as it appeared in 1862. The church was established through the determined efforts of German immigrants to cater to the religious needs of their community in the bustling northern suburb of the metropolis. The edifice, inaugurated just weeks prior to this image being taken, is primarily constructed of brick, with pale yellow facings contrasted by red arches. Boxhill stone dressings have been incorporated where budget allowed. Measuring 54ft. long and 38ft. 6in. wide, the church boasts an open roof supported by curved rib principals on moulded corbels, creating a light and elegant appearance. The interior accommodates nearly 350 persons, including those in the apse gallery. The construction of this beautiful place of worship was expertly completed by Mr. Sargeant, of Beech-street, Barbican, under the careful supervision of architect Mr. T. W. Constantine. The total cost of the project amounted to approximately £1700. The German Evangelical Church stands as a testament to the resilience and faith of the German community in London during the mid-19th century. Its intricate design and historical significance continue to captivate visitors and historians alike, making it an essential piece of London's rich architectural and cultural heritage.
