This is the original St. Peter Church circa 1905. The church was dedicated on February 2, 1901. It was wood framed with stained glass windows and an elaborate carved altar. It was remodeled in 1948. It was widened, and new windows were installed. The exterior was changed to brick and a slate roof installed. The inside of the church was also completely renovated. No one knows what happened to the stained glass windows or the altar.
