Martin Luther Ev. Lutheran Church

Aided by the Home Mission Board of the Wartburg Synod and by Rev. Johannes Traeger, the congregation was organized on March 17, 1918. Purchasing lots at the corner of New England Avenue and Addison St., a portable wood chapel was built (pictured above).

After the wood chapel was damaged in a windstorm in 1926, the congregation built a brick bungalow church, which was dedicated Feb. 27, 1927.

A third building (pictured below) was constructed in 1959 and 1960, with the "Service of Entry" taking place on June 5, 1960.
