| Additional Information: | City of Green Bay, Wisconsin - Architectural and Historical Intensive Survey Report Phase 1 - 2021 The Norwegian Lutheran Church was established in 1874 on the west side of Green Bay with a non-extant church located on the 400 blocks of S. Broadway. The wood-frame church was moved to a new location at 335 S. Chesnut Avenue in 1896. In 1916, the congregation demolished the older building and replaced it with a new brick Gothic Revival one, and renamed it the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church. The new church was designed by architect Henry Dysland and cost $16,000 to complete. For more information on Henry Dysland refer to chapter 9 Architecture. Services were routinely held in Norwegian until 1931. The interior of the church was remodeled in the 1940s and a small contemporary addition was completed in 1952. Another addition, consisting of an auditorium, more classrooms, and kitchen and cafeteria, was completed in 1957 at the address of 325 S. Chestnut Street. The exterior of the church has been altered with a rusticated concrete exterior. |
