Abandoned church - Missouri
St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church is an historic Lutheran church.
On January 4, 2008, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church and Parochial School.
The current brick building was constructed in 1893 by Pete Thull of Rock Port, Missouri and has been in use ever since. The wooden, parochial, one-room schoolhouse was constructed behind the church in 1912. It held regular classes in German until 1917. The parish hall addition was constructed in 1953.
The church survived damage inflicted in the Great Floods of 1951 and 1993. It is currently awaiting restoration due to severe and long-term flooding in 2011.
Nothing more information after the 2011 flood. I know we have some more floods after that, 2019 was worse. The town is 5 population, was 15 in 2010. So, I am guessing they gave up and abandoned the church.
