| Additional Information: | A 'site file' exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, Division of Historic Preservation-Public History. The New Hope Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church is rectangular in plan with a raised concrete foundation (incised to mimic concrete block), clapboard walls, and a metal-clad gable roof. The building consists of the main building mass and a shorter, narrower rear bay. Primary character-defining features include tall, narrow windows with stained-glass, pointed-arched transoms and drip moldings; wide, overhanging eaves with wide cornice boards; narrow corner boards with squared Tuscan capitals; and a squared bell tower featuring single round-arched openings in each side, through which the church bell can be seen. |
