Three iconic images of St. Luke's new sanctuary wall rising. c.1992
Offering views taken through the interior of the only remaining portion of St. Luke's original brick church, an unidentified photographer captured three images of the east wall of St. Luke's new facility under construction. c.1992. The transepts added to the brick church in 1957 had, by this time in the construction process, been demolished and the ground east of the original (1939) church had been leveled to make way for the large new facility. Ultimately the open east wall of the old brick church would serve as an entry to the narthex of the new sanctuary. The brick structure, itself, would be remodeled and used as a chapel in later years
