Immanuel Lutheran Church (Valparaiso, Indiana)
The congregation of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Valparaiso, Indiana, was founded in 1864 by 69 German families. The first pastor was the Rev. Johan Heinrich Hermann Meyer. The church building was erected in 1891 by Henry Lemster and his son, Charles. A fire gutted the building in 1975, marks of which can still be seen on the altar and pews.
