Our Saviour's Atonement Lutheran Church was a Lutheran church in Washington Heights, Manhattan, New York City at 578-580 West 187th Street.

It was demolished and there is no longer a parish of St. Luke's in New York. Before the church was completed the original Lutheran Church of Our Saviour merged with The Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Atonement to become Our Saviour's Atonement Lutheran Church.The pastor at the time of construction was the Rev. Arthur E. Deitz.Both merged congregations had been founded as mission churches of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church. The former Atonement Lutheran's church (established in 1896) at 116 Edgecombe Avenue (built 1897 and now owned by Mount Calvary United Methodist Church. Our Saviour's Church (established 1898), was first located at 525 West 179th Street before moving to 580 West 187th Street as the merged congregation. The congregation moved into their parish house after the Great Depression and the church is now the home of Holy Cross Armenian Apostolic Church.The merged congregation continued to acquire property in Washington Heights speculating on the area's development with the extension of the New York City Subway's IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line (1 train) and IND Eighth Avenue Line (A train). A hospital was planned but not begun. A parish house was started and completed in 1928 at a cost of $175,000 to designs by Mayers, Murray & Phillip of 2 West 47th Street. After the Stock Market Crash of 1929, plans for a new Gothic Revival church, designed by Mayers, Murray & Phillip, were scuttled. The congregation moved into the parish house, which was renamed the Cornerstone Center, "providing space for a video studio, dance and performance space, a kindergarten, a church for the deaf, and facilities of The Reform Jewish congregation Beth Am, "The People's Temple."

The 191st Street station is a station on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of St. Nicholas Avenue and 191st Street in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan, it is served by the 1 train at all times. It is the deepest station in the New York City Subway system at about 173 feet (53 m) below street level. Access to the station's main entrance is only provided by four elevators from the mezzanine situated above the platforms. A 1,000-foot-long (300 m) pedestrian tunnel also extends west from the station to Broadway, connecting it with the Fort George neighborhood. Built by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT), the station opened on January 14, 1911, as an infill station along the first subway. Even though the line through the area had opened five years earlier, no station was constructed at this location because the surrounding neighborhood had a lower population than other areas of Manhattan. Before the opening of the pedestrian tunnel two years later, the area's hilly topography made it hard for area residents to access the station. The opening of the station and the tunnel led to the development of the surrounding area, including the construction of apartment buildings. Hundreds of lots held by the Bennett family since 1835 were sold at an auction in 1919. These provided additional housing opportunities for the middle class, taking advantage of the area's improved transportation access.
