| Additional Information: | St. John’s Lutheran Church is a Gothic Revival church constructed in 1928. Square towers with battlements flank a tripartite recessed entry porch in the gable of the east-facing main elevation. The bell tower at the northeast corner is considerably taller than the southwest tower. Transept gables project minimally from the north and south elevations. Walls are clad in brick with stone accents and parapet gables, and the large pointed arch windows and doorways feature stained glass and decorative stone tracery. According to corner stones, one-story additions were made to the original building in 1956, 1963, and 1992. This includes a large wing for St. John’s Lutheran School. |
