Formerly theChurch of God, with records traced to 1924 via the Blue Earth County Historical Society. The original church foundation was reused, with a country church from Judson, MN rebuilt on site in 1945. The church remained in use until 1986, when purchased by the current owner, a commercial construction carpenter who thoughtfully transformed the property. The former church altar remains in the living room as a striking focal point. Open-concept main level with kitchen featuring generous pantry space, original white hanging light fixtures from the church, spiral staircase, 2 main-floor bedrooms, and full bath with hot tub, heated floors, and laundry. The entire second floor was built during renovation, offering 2 bedrooms, full bath, balcony, stained glass from another church, and 2 leaded-glass windows from Colorado. Navy-blue room is a legal bedroom. Lower level has separate entrance, living area, kitchen, bath, and bedrooms; previously used as pastoral residence and later church spaces.
