St. Stephen's Church is an Ironbound landmark. Built in 1874 for a German-speaking congregation, which it remained until the 1930s, the church is still Lutheran, but it presently uses Spanish and Portuguese in its services. The architect was George Staehlin and the interior has some of the most ornate woodwork in Newark. The church was also featured in Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds as the first alien spawning point of the film. Locals call this site "as Cinco Esquinas/the Five Corners."
