1343 Fulton Ave
1896-97, J.W. Walter

This Gothic style two-story brick structure was originally built as the St. John's German Lutheran Church. The congregation was founded in 1860 as the Deutsche Evangelische Lutherische St. Johannes Kirche, and initially met at a local beer saloon and social hall managed by Conrad Hubner, one of the founding members. Their first building was a wood frame structure on the north side of East 169 Street, dedicated in 1865. In 1893, they purchased this lot on Fulton Avenue for a new church building. The property also included two houses, one of which was renovated into a parish house, and the other as the parsonage. In 2010, the congregation disbanded and the building became Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ), an independent Nontrinitarian Christian church, founded in 1913 in the Phillipines.
