Continuing his experimentation with wood-laminate structural systems, Victor Lundy designed St. Paul's Lutheran Church with a distinct, soaring roof suspended by steel cables. The church's simple exterior form, with its modern buttresses, encloses an elegant interior sanctuary characterized by a curved wood ceiling and an altar wall dramatically lit by sidelights and skylights. Pairs of slender, diagonal stained glass windows penetrate the sidewalls. The sanctuary is in keeping with the architecture of the earlier, adjacent Fellowship Hall designed by Lundy.
