Concave Roof Tower Defines Elkton St John’s Church
Exterior work on St. John’s Lutheran Church in Elkton is nearly finished. Interior paneling and finishing are under way with Easter services in view. About 80 percent of on site labor is volunteered and only $2,000 has been spent on hired help. Construction began last May. The church features an unusually extreme concave roof, a rarity noted by Rev. E. C. Kun who learned of another in Wisconsin.
