The congregation of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Valparaiso, Indiana was founded in 1862 by 45 German families.[2] 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. The Immanuel Lutheran congregation moved to a new site on Glendale Boulevard, while 60 members formed a new congregation named Heritage Lutheran Church and restored the historic building.[3]
An undated old photo shows a taller steeple and a two story parsonage adjacent to the parish hall, which is no longer extant.[4] A photo from the courthouse tower northward, c. 1900, shows the taller steeple on the church.[5] The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
