The National Register is the official federal list of properties identified as important in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering and culture. The State Historic Preservation Office of the State Historical Society works in conjunction with the National Park Service, which oversees the National Register program, to list the properties. "South Dakota's history is rich in American Indian culture, pioneer life and change," said Jay D. Vogt, state historic preservation officer and director of the State Historical Society. "Properties listed on the National Register are important for their role in South Dakota's culture, heritage and history. And when properties get listed, it shows that their owners take pride in their role in preserving that culture, heritage and history." Buildings, sites, structures and objects at least 50 years old possessing historical significance may qualify for the National Register, according to Vogt. Properties must also maintain their historic location, design, materials and association. Listing on the National Register does not place any limitations on private property owners by the federal government. The cornerstone for the present St. Paul Lutheran Church building was laid on September 26, 1920. The two-story brick church located in rural Union County near Elk Point was dedicated in July 1922. The long-existing cemetery is across the road to the east of the church. The church and cemetery both retain excellent integrity of location, setting, materials, design, workmanship, feeling, and association. The property is listed in the National Register as architecturally significant as an excellent example of a Gothic Revival style church building in rural South Dakota. Gothic Revival architecture is associated with European ecclesiastical designs and rose in popularity in the United States in the mid-1800s as many immigrants sought to bring something comfortable and familiar to their new, foreign home. Vertically-oriented exterior and interior features drew the eye of a visitor heavenward, which was considered valuable for ecclesiastical architecture. Designed by architect Peter Oliver Moe, the church possesses many elements characteristic of the Gothic Revival style of architecture as indicated by the church’s emphasis on the vertical with elements like the front-gable roof, tiered buttresses, pointed arches, fixed pointed arch stained glass windows, and two asymmetrical brick steeples. On the interior, the historic layout of the sanctuary remains in details that include the original wood detailing of the pews, the altar, the pipe organ, flooring, in-floor vents, stained-glass windows, and the balcony. Original plaster details and moldings also remain intact. The altar features an original carved wooden railing, directly behind which is the original Gothic Revival style carved wooden altarpiece painted white and gold. The church also retains key associated properties including a tree-lined cemetery and churchyard that was historically used for social fellowship activities.
