The Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Church formed in 1919 in the Ballard neighborhood, at 1706 NW 65th Street. Immigrants from Finland, like other Scandinavians, found that churches and other organizations strengthened their community. In 1954, the Finnish Lutheran Church moved to a newly constructed building in Crown Hill. The building in this photo is currently a private residence. While the old congregation held its services in Finnish, and ministered mainly to Finns who had come to this area as immigrants, the new church has a more broadly mixed membership.

This photo is part of an album titled "The Swedes' Life and Work in the State of Washington" which was acquired by the Swedish Club of Seattle.

Some of the photos in the album are signed Nordlands Foto Company, K.E. Nordland owner, 1707 Market Street, Ballard.
