Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. Located mere blocks from Pacific Avenue, Good Shepherd is still an active church some 36 years after this photograph was taken on February 16, 1970. This is the new sanctuary of Good Shepherd's; it would be dedicated on March 8, 1970, with a procession from the old chapel to the new. Constructed out of cedar and trimmed with stone, the large building had a full basement for social activities. The freestanding tower houses Maas-Rowe carillions which were a memorial gift to the church. The buildings and their contents had an estimated worth of $250,000.

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. Another view of part of the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 140 E. 56th St., in February of 1970, about three weeks prior to the dedication of the church's new sanctuary. The structures were primarily constructed of cedar with stone trimming on the church. The freestanding tower contained Maas-Rowe carillions which were a memorial gift to the church. The Rev. Harold G. Johnson, who was the first resident pastor from 1951-55, traveled from California to be the guest speaker at the dedication on March 8, 1970. Good Shepherd's first chapel unit (not shown) was dedicated in 1954. Photograph ordered by Cheney Lumber Co. (TNT 3-6-70, D-5)
