It is a superb example of organic architecture. They did not spare any expense when it came to building materials and it has stood the test of time - the field stone, laminate beams and specially designed hardwood pews still look great! The building was based on the Biblical doctrine rediscovered during the Lutheran Reformation - The Universal Priesthood of All Believers. Stade was very engaged in the whole project. He even met with the pastor 2 or 3 times a week for 2 months to make sure the building reflected truly Lutheran theology. The chancel furnishings also bear the mark of Schwidder. As the current pastor of First Lutheran, we are trying to be very respectful of the design as we look to expand. We have many of the original architectural drawings but would love to find some of the structural drawings. Does anyone know of any archives containing his work?pastormarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09415158229292277619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180214205361596444.post-63273535983159253512012-09-05T09:18:01.386-05:002012-09-05T09:18:01.386-05:00Stade, Dolan, Anderson, & Bonesz & Associa...Stade, Dolan, Anderson, & Bonesz & Associates also designed and built our church It was their commission number 816, July 1, 1963.
