About this property
Concordia German Evangelical Church and Rectory, also known as Concordia United Church of Christ and Rectory is a historic church in Northwest, Washington, D.C. Concordia Church has been located in Foggy Bottom on the corner of G and 20th streets since 1833. The parsonage was built in 1885. The church building, located directly west of the parsonage, was dedicated May 15, 1892, and remains mostly in its original state. To the rear of the church, on its southern end, a three-bay Sunday School was added in 1899 and reconstructed in 1932. Founded as Concordia German Evangelical United Church, the congregation is now known as The United Church. It is a member congregation of the United Church of Christ and the United Methodist Church. It continues to offer German language services and events today, as well as in English. It is significant both historically and architecturally. The two buildings stand on a site that was in continuous ownership of the German congregation that built them since the late eighteenth century when the area was known as Funkstown or Hamburg, an early settlement that predated the founding of Washington. The church design is an example of late-nineteenth-century eclectic Victorian architecture. Its current building was built in 1885–1891 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
