Our Savior's Lutheran Church
Our Savior's Lutheran Church (or Vor Frelsers norsk evangelisk lutherske menighet), a Norwegian Synod congregation, was organized on January 18, 1858. Its original building (pictured above) was constructed in 1859 at May and Erie Streets. Dedication was held March 27, 1859. On October 5, 1873 a second structure (pictured below) at that location was dedicated.

In 1888 a faction left Our Savior's to join
Bethlehem Lutheran.
In 1925 Our Savior's merged with
St. Paul English Lutheran and Bethlehem Lutheran to form
United Lutheran. In 1928 United moved to Oak Park, Ill.
