Notes
  • Significance: This church structure, built by nineteenth-century Swedish immigrants, reflects the church architecture tradition of the Scandinavian nations in its off-center placing of the battered structure that houses the bell. In Sweden these bell structures were left open to the weather; the Augsburg Swensk Skola bell structure is enclosed and the lower space serves as tool house and wood storage area. The structure is an adaptation of a traditional architectural form, dating from the middle ages, to the needs of a particular locality.
