THE 1950s!!!

The setting of the city of Queens Village was after World War II where many coming back began settling down to raise a family. Of these many veterans returning from war most of them, if not all, were of the Christian faith. This church was one of the few that residents went to for worship. Built in 1955, the name of the church is the REDEEMER LUTHERAN CHURCH. The church is located in the residential part of Queens Village where it somewhat blends in with the other neighboring houses. churches made in the 1950s were mostly made of brick as pictured in the image.
Like all churches of Christendom, it firmly represents Jesus Christ as their Lord by displaying The Cross. The white cross on the church is on the top above the bell cover. This picture kind of reminds me of those churches that were also schools for the children in the community in the late 1700s and 1800s. Like those church schools, it is made from the same kind of "school red" brick, it was shaped like those schools, and has those burgandy doors that make this place seem serious. This church, ironically, is a nursery as well to many little infants and children in the community. The different types of people that go to this church are Koreans, Irish, African Americans, Caucasian, Giuanese, and Hispanics.
The Church still has this "old-fashioned" type of feeling in it because they reserved and maintained it's original look. The church did experience an extension to the east where the nursery is held. The extension is about 3 feet above ground. You can literally walk on top of the church, (take my word on it because I did it before), because rather than build up they decided to build down. They did decide, though, to keep the same red, white, and peach colors of the original building and put it into the new part. The roof is still the same gray dull color too. The entrance of the church still remains the same where, unlike the gray concrete we use on sidewalks, they used the tannish colored gravel and pebbles to make up the walkway of the church. The black railings along the steps have been rusting it's brownish orange color onto the concrete steps due to decades of weathering. On the end of the railing is a wooden post that declares the name of the church. There is also a black postboard that displays the name of the church in both English and Korean and gives the times of the different sermons.
