   On July 9, 1865 the parish of Christ Church Glendale was officially born in the Sharon Avenue and Forest Avenue area. On the far right in the first Glendale Episcopal Church card you can see the old Glendale water tower that was built in 1892. In the 1920's this tower, holding about two days supply of water for the village suddenly collapsed producing waves of water that swept down Sharon Avenue.

   The First German Reformed Church at 1815 Freeman Ave. was constructed in 1850 to serve the West End's growing German American population. It became the First Reformed Church in 1918 (WW I) and operated until 1970. Due to declining membership the church was sold and became the Freeman Avenue United Church of Christ which lasted only until 1975. In 1993 the Seven Hills Neighborhood Houses, a nonprofit social-services agency bought the church and parsonage. The agency does not have the necessary funds to make needed repairs to the building and it now faces possible demolition.

   Located at 1522 Race Street, the German Holy Trinity Lutheran Church was built in 1871 with German services being held here until 1969 when the congregation, now known as Concordia Lutheran Church, moved to Central Parkway. Services are still in German. This congregation is Cincinnati's oldest Lutheran House of worship, that began in Over-the-Rhine in 1849. The building seen in the last card above is now known as the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church. The Concordia Lutheran Church will, due to decreasing membership, close its doors for good in 2009. A couple of past members includes the founder of the Cincinnati Zoo Andrew Erkenbrecher and former University of Cincinnati President Walter Langsam. Local historian Don Heinrich Tolzmann has been a member for three decades.
