Less commonly known is the fact that the former church also was once the site of a German restaurant and bar, the Forst-Keller, which won local notoriety in the 1930s as a hangout for the Nazi sympathizers of the Wisconsin branch of the German-American Bund (as reported in Beric'ht Talossan #18). In 1901, the operator of the Forst-Keller invited saloon wrecker Carry Nation to visit his establishment. She replied: “When I come to Milwaukee I will give you a call. I will bring my hatchet and make souvenirs of that hell hole.”
