The Lithuanian Church is Architectural Art worthy of Historical Landmark Designation!

As ecclesiastical buildings are such a centerpiece of our built heritage, we take the view that every effort should be made to assist continuing community use. Many churches, when no longer required for worship, can still make a valuable contribution to the life of the community. They often occupy convenient, central positions and make good venues for social and community activities, such as concerts, meetings, exhibitions, and social centers.

Windows are an integral part of the original architectural design. Many windows feature patterns of glass panes divided by muntins. The original window glass, with its distinctive waviness, reflects the craftsmanship of early hand-rolled glass techniques.

The companion stained glass windows, which people in this neighborhood contributed to the church, have been removed. The names of family members of people who still live in this neighborhood appeared in memoriam on these windows. Their disappearance is devastating to these folks. We ask for the return of the stained glass.
