Dosh, a member of the synod of Virginia, with 24 members, and the services at that time were held at the old Baptist on 17th St. ... they erected the building where services are now held, on 16th St. The price of this lot was $3,500, of which amount the congregations was able to pay down was but $50. ... The dedication proper of the First English Evangelical Lutheran Church occurred January 16, 1898." Cranmer (1903), p. 279-280.
