Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration
From Wikipedia Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration, an Episcopal church building in Belle Plaine. It was built in 1868 for English-speaking parishioners, but most of the rural residents at the time were German and Irish immigrants who brought their own languages and religious practices with them. The result was a church building that struggled to attract worshipers for 80 years before it was abandoned.
