Parsonage
This home, the United Evangelical, formerly Trinity, Lutheran Church parsonage, was the residence of Rev. Robert S. Graetz, a white Lutheran clergyman who pastored the African-American congregation of Trinity Lutheran Church, placing him and his family in the midst of community hostility during the year of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. More details are given in the Alabama Voices link.
Today, this historic home is in much need of preservation. This effort, "The Parsonage Restoration Project", which has the support of members of the Graetz family, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and others, is currently being coordinated by Mrs. Tori Adams-Holloway, of United Evangelical Lutheran Church, through the United/Trinity Lutheran Church Foundation.
We are grateful for all the donations already received.
