NOTES
Additional Information:1995: This brick Neo-Gothic Revival style church was built in 1909 and it is probably the work of the La Crosse firm of Parkinson & Dockendorff of La Crosse, which is known to have designed the nearby Coon Prairie Lutheran Church (aka Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church, NRHP 7/14/86) in the same year. Addition added in 1988.
