Property Features
"Designed by noted Wisconsin architect John Steinmann, St. John's Lutheran Church was constructed in 1958 in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright's "Usonian design" houses. The exterior is clad in Roman brick, and the nearly-flat roof features monitor structures with clerestory windows that admit additional natural light to the interior. The main building consists of a sanctuary, library, offices, kitchen and restrooms, as well as a large narthex, or entry hall. The interior walls are also clad in Roman brick. A 1970 addition on the south side, designed by Madison architect Robert Torkelson, has the same design features and exterior construction materials as the main building. The addition contains a fellowship hall, chapel, classrooms and office space." Evansville Historic Preservation Commission, Historic Evansville Walking Tour brochure, 2014.
