Additional Information: | The Church of Christ, Scientist established four churches in the City of Milwaukee in the early twentieth century. The Second Church of Christ Scientist relocated to Wauwatosa in 1922 and established a reading room and services held at the Wauwatosa Woman’s Club on Wauwatosa Avenue. The reading room was reorganized as a church in 1929, and in 1934 the church constructed a building and was renamed. The Church was expanded in 1974 with an additional reading room, offices, and a Sunday school. |
