Now this church I looked for. I saw it's Victorian listing on the DNR survey and looked for it specifically, as I went for the historic district.
Did not know until I found it that the church congregation had moved and it is now a private residence.
The bell is still in the tower, and does work, but resident said out of respect to neighbors does not ring it except on Halloween
"This is a one-story frame church built
in 1878-79 with an added 1958 brick veneer surface. The church has
influences of the Romanesque style. There is a stone foundation,
gable roof of metal standing seam and interior brick chimney at the
rear. On the main facade is a two-story bell tower with a conical
metal roof and Gothic arched louvered vents. The main entrance is
located in the first floor of the tower and has a ca. 1990 solid
wood door. A similar door is located in the north entrance. Over
the doors are original two-light arched transoms. Windows are 6/6
arched wood sash with stained glass lights. At the rear is a one-story brick education building constructed in 1958.
"The church was originally named as the Methodist
Episcopal Church South and is continued to be used as a church." ~ DNR Historic Survey PDF page 572
