One Hundred Year Old St John's Scale Model

One hundred year old scale model built by Gerhardt Witte and used to build St John's. As the church was being built, one inch on the scale model would represent a set number of feet to be measured for the real church.

Saw owned by Gerhardt Witte which some believed used to make the above scale church model. The saw was originally powered by a foot pedal.
