| Additional Information: | Previously surveyed in 1998. The congregation of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church was organized in 1909. Initially, most of the services were conducted in German. The congregation acquired the Temple Honor Hall, which previously stood on the current site in 1909 and rehabilitated it for church use. A one-room school and parish house were erected in 1914. By the mid 1940s, the congregation had outgrown the original church. In 1949, architect Art Dimmer of Kaukauna, Wisconsin was engaged to design a new building. The old church and school buildings were moved to new sites in Greenleaf. The existing St. Paul's Lutheran Church was completed in December 1950, at a cost of $22,950.00. |
