NOTES
Additional Information:The Evangelical Lutheran Church was established in 1884 on the north side of New Richmond. In 1889, the congregation was incorporated and constructed a non-extant church. The Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church merged with the mostly Swedish English Lutheran Church in 1945 to establish the First Lutheran Church. The combined congregation occupied a non-extant church located at 212 East Third Street.

In 1952, the First Lutheran Church constructed a contemporary style building at 258 North Third Street on the north side of New Richmond. A large annex to the church, which contained a school and office space, was completed to the east and connected in 1965. The church and annex were renovated in 1990. In 2013, the First Lutheran Church constructed a large church at 218 County Road K on the west side of the city. The new church was not included in the survey, and the original church building at 258 North Third Street is now used by the Solid Rock Church.
