| Additional Information: | 2023 - The St, John’s Lutheran congregation was organized in Reedsburg in 1878 by German immigrants and has been the largest Lutheran congregation in the city since. A non-extant church was constructed, and a parsonage and school were added in 1889. A new non-extant masonry church building was completed in 1911 on the same site but was destroyed by fire in 1937. A new church building was completed the same year. The church was designed by architect Hugo Logeman. For more information on Logeman refer to Chapter 9 Architecture. The New London Construction Company built the church, and the Besch Organ Company installed a large loft organ. An education wing was added to the east side of the church building in 1960 for a small school and offices and a reception wing was added to the west side of the church in 1996. |
