Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church

Grace became a founding church in the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod and its first pastor, Johannes Muehlhaeuser, also served as the church body’s first president. It’s first building was built the next year, 1850, on the corner of Broadway and Juneau and served the congregation for the next 50 years. The existing building was built in 1900 and has served the congregation for that last 120 years. The existing church building was built in a Neo-Gothic style by architect Armand Koch, son of Henry Koch who designed Milwaukee’s City Hall. Rather than using the Cream City Brick that was common for other construction at the time, it’s orange-yellow colored brick was transported in from Minnesota. Grace employs an ornamental terra cotta style, especially in the frames of it’s stained glass windows, entryways and spires.
