The Swiss Reformed Church in New Glarus, with the Sunday school building, called the Zwingli House, on the left. The church is located at 18 Fifth Avenue. This is the third church building for this congregation, built in 1900 and dedicated in 1901. The Zwingli House building was dedicated in 1924. In 1937 after a merger of denominations, the Swiss Reformed Church became the Swiss Evangelical & Reformed Church. After a merger with the Congregationalist denomination in 1957, it became the Swiss United Church of Christ.
