St. Johannes Kirche was a former Manhattan Lutheran church located at 217 East 119th Street between Second and Third Avenues. It was built in 1873 and reused as Iglesia Luterana Sion by the Lutheran Church in America: “An early masonry church for this community, then remote from the center of the city much further downtown. The church began as a home for a German-speaking congregation—today it serves those who speak Spanish.”[1] It appears to have been demolished.[2]
