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.
