Building Description
Milwaukee’s first congregation, Immanuel Presbyterian Church marks its 187th anniversary this year. The current church building (1875) was designed by famed Milwaukee architect Edward Townsend Mix in the “High Victorian Gothic” style. A recent addition designed by Kahler Slater, provides education and meeting space for this growing and thriving congregation. The building’s Wauwatosa limestone exterior features an array of colors and textures trimmed in red and gray sandstone and Scottish granite. The interior of the building includes beautiful woodwork and stained glass windows, four of which are Tiffany.
Visitor Experience
