Additional Information: | This church was built on a cream brick basement story that was constructed in 1898, which story, being roofed over, served as the church until the current building was concstructed in 1912. The design was by William Thommen (see also 924 W. Grand Ave.), who was a designer for the Wisconsin Chair Co. (non-extant) in Port Washington. A later addition was added to the north side of the church and this addition was then replaced by thestill larger modern one that is visible today. |
