Hope Lutheran Church and Carpenter Mansion

See the 1890s rare example of Queen Anne-style architecture at the home of a Carpenter who was a baker, owner of one of the largest independent bakery operations in the country during the first half of the 20th century.
Why did they build a church attached to a mansion? Hope’s congregation formed in 1924, and the present-day church finished its decade of construction in the late 1950s. These architectural treasures have complemented each other in service to the community for more than seven decades.
