• Our Saviors Lutheran Church on the right, First Apostolic Lutheran Church on the left. Churches are located on Adventure Street in Atlantic Mine.

• Does anyone have any idea when this was taken? Would these buildings have existed in 1904?

• I had a cursory look in our vertical file Churches - Atlantic Mine" and it appears that both churches were built in 1899. This would fit with the time frame that photographer J.W. Nara was active in the region. It appears that the photograph documents a date close to the completion of construction, as there are no plantings and a set of ladders are laying beside the church on the right. "
