Evangelical Reformed Church and Manitowoc County Courthouse
![View facing north east across Hancock Street towards the Evangelical Reformed Church, also known as the German Reformed Church, and the new Manitowoc County Courthouse. Several girls wearing long coats are standing on the sidewalk in front of the church. Architectural details include tall, narrow Gothic arched windows, corbeled gable end and ornamental turrets. The entryway displays "Ev. Reformirte Kirche" in large letters above the double doors. Erected in 1891 on the corner of S. 9th and Hancock Streets, the brick church cost in excess of $6,000. The Beaux-Arts style courthouse, designed by Manitowoc architect C.H. Tegen and built of Indiana limestone, is in its final phases of construction. The framework of the dome and its base will soon be finished in copper with prism glass windows furnished and installed by the Tremmel Art Glass Company of Two Rivers, Wisconsin. At a cost of approximately $250,000, the courthouse was dedicated on Nov. 12, 1907. One of the featured speakers, that day, was Wisconsin Governor James O. Davidson. A livery stable constructed of wood stands between the church and courthouse. A partially obscured sign on its left side advertises "OWL [CI]GAR 5 cts."](http://images.wisconsinhistory.org/700016200003/1620000042-l.jpg "Evangelical Reformed Church and Manitowoc County Courthouse")
