| Additional Information: | Our Redeemer Lutheran Church constructed a Neogothic Revival church in 1951. In 1967, Our Redeemer moved to a new location further west along North Avenue and sold the old church building. Subsequently, the old building was renamed the Bell Tower Office Building and has served as office space and various banks since. Our Redeemer Lutheran Church constructed a new Brutalist style Church and School in 1967. The congregation later added a significant addition to the building in 1988. |
