Residence Hall, Northwestern Lutheran Theological Seminary, 1958, Minneapolis, Minnesota
No full textThis is a photograph of a residence hall of Northwestern Lutheran Theological Seminary. The seminary continued to acquire property as it grew, but by the late 1950s it was clear that another expansion would be necessary. The seminary\u27s parent church, the United Lutheran Church in America, continued to increase in membership. Eventually Northwestern Lutheran Theological Seminary\u27s expansion came on the campus of Luther Seminary in the St. Anthony Park neighborhood in St. Paul. In 1955, Luther Seminary purchased the site of the Breck School, an Episcopalian preparatory school, that stood near Luther Seminary. The invitation for Northwestern Lutheran Theological Seminary to move to this site came several years later, with the actual move happening in 1967. Back of photograph reads: NLTS residence #2404.https://digitalcommons.luthersem.edu/luther_images/1026/thumbnail.jp
