KLICKITAT'S NEW LUTHERAN CHURCH

Friends and members of Klickitat's Lutheran congregation joined Sunday, Feb. 11, in dedicating this new $8,000 church building. Officiating at the services was the pastor, Eugene R. Schramm. The building, of Cape Cod colonial design, was planned by an outstanding church architect, F.R. Webber of Cleveland, Ohio, and was constructed by Peter Westlund and son of The Dalles.
The interior of the church is finished in plaster and knotty pine stained dark brown, with an open ceiling and exposed trusses. There is a full basement with a kitchen and Sunday school rooms, and oil-burning heating plant. A choir room and entrance porch open up to the 51x22 foot auditorium.
