View from the balcony of the former All Saints Lutheran Church of the altarpiece and apse.

[ca. 1980]

Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción, led by Jorge Hernandez, purchased the former All Saints Lutheran Church (built 1898) on West Newton Street in Boston's South End, and renovated it for use as a cultural center and performing arts venue for the city's Hispanic community. The Center opened in 1986 and was renamed the Jorge N. Hernandez Cultural Center in honor of Hernandez, whose funeral was the first event held in the newly refurbished space. This picture shows the former sanctuary with its apse and altarpiece. Wooden boards are piled around the space.
