Boyd's City Directory for DC shows 3 Lutheran churches, 2 of which are
German. The Congregation of the Trinity Unaltered Augsburg Confession,
4th west cor E north. Dedicated in 1857 and the German Evangelical on G
north cor 20th wes. Founded 1833 (Concordia). These entries are on page
255 of the Directory. The FHC microfilm for the Directory is #1377578.
I don't know that the FHC has a microfiom for this second church.
