Scandinavian Church
Scandinavian Church
802 Baker Street, Nelson, BC
1933 Mission Revival. Originally known as the Scandinavian Lutheran Mission Church the structure was built for the North Pacific Missionary Conference. The Church was designed by local resident Leonard Nelson. The first service, in Swedish, was held on 10 September 1933; and, in English, on 17 September 1933. The exterior has been so extensively renovated that it bears little resemblance to the original facade. Note the sunburst motif, gabled roof, sills, cornerstone of Kootenay Granite with gold lettering and arched windows.
