Mount Olive "English" Lutheran Church was founded in 1894 and previously occupied a church building on North 4th and West Walnut Streets in Milwaukee. Our current building was dedicated on March 18, 1923. The church was constructed for a cost of $135,000. The furnishings and organ cost an additional $14,800. The current pipe organ was installed in 1987 and contains 47 ranks of pipes. The architectural style is modified Tudor Gothic. Perhaps the most striking feature of the building are the stained glass windows. The window above the altar was manufactured by the Milwaukee Art Glass Company and uses Tiffany glass. It depicts Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane (located on the Mount of Olives outside Jerusalem). The remainder of the windows in the sanctuary are from Munich, Germany and were manufactured by the Meyer firm. They are outstanding examples of the style knows as "Munich stained glass." The windows depict additional scenes from the life of Jesus. |
