English: Calvary Lutheran Church, 2414 Mound Road at Balsley Road, Seneca Falls, New York, July 2022. A work of the Auburn, New York-based architectural firm of Beardsley & Beardsley, this striking church is a fine example of the "A-Frame" sub-school of Modernist architecture that, at the time of its construction (1960), was becoming ever more popular Stateside after its importation from Europe at the end of World War II. Here we see all the hallmarks of the style: a massive sloping roof whose rafters reach straight down to foundation level, a massive window dominating the façade (in this case, stained glass with geometric tracery), an open and airy interior, and a rustic look achieved here by the use of wooden slats as siding over the concrete-block walls. Note also the detached tower at left, which achieves a Modernist take on the open-work model through the use of steel bars and tubes. An affiliate of the Missouri Synod of Lutheranism, Calvary was founded in 1951 and met for its initial years at the former Salvation Army citadel on Miller Street in Seneca Falls' town center. Ground was broken in July 1959 for their $60,000 permanent home on Mound Road near the Waterloo town line, followed by a cornerstone-laying ceremony in October of the same year.
