(Old Music Hall) The Music Hall Evangelical Lutheran Church was constructed ca. 1892 by William Price, a leading member of Music Hall Evangelical Lutheran Church, a small congregation whose conviction that music should play a larger role in religious worship had apparently led them to withdraw from St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church. The austere architecture of the building is an expression of the conservative views of the congregation. Music Hall Evangelical Lutheran Church is a rectangular, frame, weatherboarded building of one-and-one-half stories with a gable roof and projecting end gables. A standing seam metal roof covers the building. Sashless windows covered by vertical board shutters are set in the east and west elevation, where an off-center door is flanked by a single window on the right and two single windows on the left. Field stones and log blocks furnish the foundation. The building has been used for storage since the congregation of the Music Hall Church dissolved in 1906. Listed in the National Register November 22, 1983.
