Luther Memorial is one of Ravenswood's oldest churches. The church's first sanctuary was located at 2120 W. Sunnyside Ave. and dedicated on Nov. 27, 1898, a little over a year after the 35-member church started meeting in a storefront near Seeley and Montrose avenues.
For its first 20 years, the church was The Ravenswood English Evangelical Lutheran Church and was the only English-speaking Lutheran church in Chicago. Today, Luther Memorial is affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
