Throwback Thursday: Former St. John's Church

The best thing about our communities is our ability to take a peak back into the past and see the visual changes our forefathers made on our the places we live.

Occasionally, we here at Patch will dig up or find some older photographs, videos and more to share with the community to do a bit of time travel into what was and, now, what is.

Lindenhurst is absolutely filled with remnants of the past, if you know where to look. For example, the reason School Street is named so was the original Lindenhurst School House was where the Bunt Commons are today.

Down School Street on John Street currently resides the Evangel Church of God. What the outside of that building does not tell you is that it formerly belonged to St. John's Lutheran Church, now on the eastern side of John Street.

The Church also formerly had a steeple, as shown in this photograph from the early 20th century.
