 | A sketch of Immanuel Lutheran church. This sketch must be after the late 1920's because the gothic steeples no longer have spires.

 | The post card reads "Immanuel Ev. Lutheran Church, Pensacola, FL." The name was changed to that during World War I in 1918 when the church was incorporated to Immanuel's Evangelical Lutheran Church of Pensacola, Florida." That's when reference to being a German church was dropped because of the war. This picture may have been taken around the 1940's or 1950's or possibly later. Also, this post-card is previous to the city of Pensacola implementing underground utilities, in the late 20th century, as evidenced by the wires obstructing the view.

 | This drawing was made prior to 1918 since the "German" was dropped out of the name in 1918. This is probably one of the earliest pictures of the 1912 church. The building on the left was the parsonage at that time. Pastors Reinhardt and Schrader both lived there with their families. In 1942, the Schraders moved to a new parsonage at 1212 E. Lakeview. The old building was used as a Sunday School and church hall till 1955 when it was razed to building a new education building. Those who attended Sunday School and confirmation class in the old building remember long days without air conditioning, drink machines, and water fountains. The students/catechumens went to confirmation classes all summer 5 days a week for 3 hours in the 7th grade and 3 1/2 hours in the 8th grade.
