Emanuel Lutheran Church - Dallas TX - Victorian Style Architecture on Waymarking.com

"The Emanuel Lutheran Church is a brick institutional building with Gothic Revival-style detailing. The church is one story in height and has a rectangular plan. Light-colored cast-stone detailing highlights the facade, and contrasts with the dark brown brick used on exterior walls. Two, large pointed-arched openings and decorative buttresses also distinguish the facade. The gabled roof is covered with asphalt shingles.

Concrete steps with a solid brick balustrade and cast-stone coping provide access to the double-door entrance on the principal facade, which is set within a large Gothic arch. A cast-stone panel inscribed with the church's name is located above this arch. Non-structural, 2-story buttresses frame the entrance bay and contribute to the building's overall vertical emphasis, a typical Gothic Revival feature. A large, recessed, stained-glass, pointed-arched window dominates the entrance. The apex of the front gable is capped with a small Latin cross of cast stone."
