A new tradition of walldogs is developing in old downtowns. Driven by Chambers of Commerce and similar organizations.

Built in 1902, this Romanesque Revival-style structure was designed by Gordon and Paunack for the congregation of the Bethel Norwegian Lutheran Church, now Bethel Lutheran Church. Bethel Lutheran Church outgrew the building in the 1930s, and built a new church several blocks to the southwest, which was completed in 1940, after which the building became home to the First Christian Church of Madison. The building features a painted red brick exterior, a cross-gable roof, a tower with a low-slope roof enclosed by a parapet, a belfry with large arched louvers featuring tracery, recessed brick panels below the belfry, rusticated stone belt coursing, trim, and window sills, roman arched window openings, an entrance door at the base of the tower with a stained glass roman arched transom, above which is a datestone engraved with the year “1902” a side entrance with a stained glass roman arched transom, and a rusticated stone base. The building today serves as apartments, having ceased to be used as a church in the 20th Century.
