From HistoryLink.org:

When the church building was dedicated in 1912, it had one of the largest Lutheran congregations on the Pacific Coast. Two bishops from the Norwegian State Church assisted with the dedication ceremonies. In 1915 philanthropist Andrew Carnegie funded the purchase of a Kilgen pipe organ. An addition to the rear portion of the church was completed from 1919 to 1920 to house a gymnasium and other church activities. During the 1920s the congregation numbered some 2,000. Built entirely of Frame construction on a concrete foundation, Immanuel Lutheran is the only frame church structure in the vicinity of downtown Seattle still used as a house of worship.
