NOTES
Additional Information:The First Settlement Neighborhood: A Walking Tour: "The Norwegian Lutheran Church congregation was formed in 1886 when it split from Bethel Lutheran Church. Members of the new congregation disagreed with Bethel's policy of sending their children to public schools where they would be taught in English rather than the native tongue. Sermons at Our Savior were offered in English only on alternate Sundays through the 1920s. The church building was built on a lot vacated by the removal of dry goods merchant Christian and Fredericke Heinrichs' house (built 1865) to the adjoining lot at 405 East Washington. The church steeple was enclosed in later years." 2021 - Resurveyed. Cruciform footprint, brick, corner pyramidal tower, Gothic arch stained glass window, clapboard siding in third story, decorative Gothic arch lintels, converted to restaurant.
