First Lutheran Church of Albemarle 230 South Second Street Albemarle, North Carolina 28001 Built in 1908, First Lutheran was the first church in Albemarle to be constructed of brick. While the 1930 Christian Education Building [right] was torn down and replaced by a more modern structure in 1975, the sanctuary remains as an excellent example of Gothic Revival architecture.
