The Swedish Church

Charter Oak, Iowa

The Swedish Church was located at the corner of 2nd and Birch. The church had an unusual design with a turret top that was characteristic of the builders Wm. Keim Sr. and Mr. Haworth. According to the 1891 Charter Oak Times History of Charter Oak " The Swedish Church is another excellent structure and was built in 1890."

Not much more is known of the church except that Victor Larson, Gus Larson, and Oscar Samuelson were members.

In the early 1900's the church was sold and was made into a house by Theodore Drake and Elmer Hayworth.
