SW. LUTH. AUGSBURG CHURCH. PORTER IND. Date: Circa 1910 Source Type: Postcard Publisher, Printer, Photographer: Karbo, M. L. Photo Company (#9) Postmark: None Collection: Steven R. Shook Remark: Mineral Springs Road is visible along the left side of this postcard image and the church fronts along this road. At 3:45 pm on Saturday, March 11, 1933, the church seen here was destroyed by a fire caused by a propane gas tank explosion in the basement. The blast occurred while the congregation's Luther League members were preparing to serve a waffle supper. Injured were Ruth Chellberg, Adele Borg, Marion Dilley, and Steve Ignacik. Chellburg was severely burned but she did recover. The church filed suit in the Porter Circuit Court for damages against the Protane Corporation and Illinois Bottled Gas Company to collect $21,000 in losses caused by the fire. By August of 1933, construction had begun on the structure currently used by the congregation. The structure cost $30,000 to build and was sited at the same location of previous church.
