600 6^th St.

    The structure was built by the German Methodist Church in 1852 as their church building at a cost of $1200.  The church remained in existence until 1915 when it was purchased by Prof. C. H. Dunkle and renovated to become Dunkle Business School.  In 1945 it was purchased by the Foursquare Gospel Church.  The original structure had a wooden tower fifteen feet above the eighteen foot eaves.  By 1892 it had an addition to the rear which has been removed.  The original rear wall still retains a large circular window at the attic level.  Several basement windows have been bricked in.  There are 2 rear chimneys.  On the north there is a walk-out basement entrance and several windows.  An alley and gravel parking area is to the rear, and there are no outbuildings.
