This plaque lies adjacent to the old cornerstone. It reads: St. Paul Lutheran Church. Founded July 28, 1851. Recognizes Jesus Christ as its precious cornerstone (I Peter 2:4-6). Accordingly the congregation in grateful remembrance of God's blessings preserves the cornerstone of the second church building where from 1871-1967 thousands of God's people were strengthened and fortified in their faith in Jesus Christ, the chief cornerstone of the church (Eph. 2:20). In 1971 the building which stood majestically on Washington Street for 100 years was razed.
