Description du lieu patrimonial
Saint Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church a Greek Revival style building located on a small hill on the Back Cornwall Road. The church is visible from the Cornwall Road, which runs through Middle Cornwall, Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia. The Municipal Heritage Designation applies to the building and the building footprint.
Valeur patrimoniale
Saint Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church is valued for its age, religious history and Greek Revival architecture. Built in 1863 as a Union church it served numerous congregations including Anglican, Presbyterian and Lutheran.
Although many Union churches in the municipality were later taken down in favour of building new and larger churches or modified by significant extensions, the Middle Cornwall Lutheran congregation continues to hold service in the relatively unaltered church, which is one of the oldest in the area.
The Greek Revival style of the church is found throughout the municipality; however, the absence of Gothic Revival elements such as arched windows and its relatively unaltered exterior make the church unique for the area.
