Father Pitt

Why should the beautiful die?


St. Michael & All Angels Lutheran Church, Spring Garden

St. Michael and All Angels Lutheran Church

A well-kept little frame church covered in fake stone. It began as a mission church, according to old maps, and then became a full parish as Grace Evangelical Lutheran.

Front elevation of the church

Although old Pa Pitt is not very fond of the fake stone blocks, they have preserved the little church and given it a tidy exterior that is better than the aluminum siding they probably replaced.

Parish house with church behind it

The parish house predates the church; there was a frame house here in 1872, which is the earliest plat map we could find. The church itself was probably built around 1900.
