4 STORY CNR TOWER W/BRICK BUTTRESSES W/STONE COPING. CRENELLATED TOWER CORNICE W/STONE FINIALS. TUDOR ARCHED STAINED GLASS WINDOWS W/ELABORATE TRACERY. TUDOR ARCHED RECESSED ENTRANCE IN 1 STORY PROJECTING ENTRY. GABLES W/PARAPETS W/FINIALS. 160 North Brown Street/19 West Frederick Street Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church This brick Gothic Revival church was built for the Zion Evangelical Lutheran congregation in 1928 (cornerstone). Ray Gauger, of St. Paul, Minnesota, was the architect. The Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church was established in 1885, and its first members were mostly German. The first church building was erected in 1888 on Mason Street. The church burned in October 1905, and the congregation had a new frame church built immediately (History of Lincoln, Oneida and Vilas Counties, p. 130). The 1906 church is located at circa 127 North Stevens Street (extant, altered). The existing church, then, is the third one built for the Zion Evangelical Lutheran congregation. The existing church features a square, corner tower with stone tracery, pointed-arched windows with stone label moldings, buttresses and pinnacles; an entrance porch with a pointed-arched entry and buttresses; a large, pointed-arched, traceried window with a stone label molding; and a steep, gabled parapet with a stone coping and a stone cross. |
