| Additional Information: | 2023 - The Presbyterian Church for Northeast Wisconsin identified the growing population of Preble as a site for a future church location in 1960 and a small congregation was established the same year. After holding services in a non-extant warehouse, the group constructed a Rectory for its pastor located at 509 Eastview Drive in 1961, which was not included in the survey. A new church building was constructed in 1963 and designed by the architects Berners-Schober. The small church building also included several classrooms for the school. The Preble Park United Presbyterian Church, located at 607 Ravenswood Drive, was included in the survey but is not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places because of a lack of architectural integrity. The church was sold to the St. Matthew Orthodox Church in 2014 and had a significant addition and alterations completed the following year. |
