  • Stave Churches Are Unique to Norway. It Is Considered the "Most Important Example of Wooden Medieval Architecture in Europe." a Stave Church Is Made Entirely of Wood
    Stave churches are unique to Norway. It is considered the "most important example of wooden Medieval architecture in Europe." A stave church is made entirely of wood. Poles ("staver" in Norwegian) has given it its name. Most of the churches were built before 1350, but most did not survive since the supporting timber was placed directly into the ground and experienced rot and collapsed in time. <fjordnorway.com> The construction involved columns, planks and supports that were joined by dovetailing pegs and wedges with glue or nails. In the source, <ingebretsens.com> a thorough review of history and construction can be read. Stave churches have fine detail with a combination of Christian designs and pre‐Christian Viking themes with animals and dragons. It is believed that Norway had over one thousand churches. That number has dwindled to less than 25 today. The one we visited in Bergen, Norway can be viewed on acuri.net. The church in Rapid City is a replica of the Borgund stave church built in 1180 and was dedicated to the Apostle Andrew in Laerdal, Norway. It is still well preserved. From the <Chapel‐in the‐Hills> website, we learn the following about the history of this church: "It is the result of a dream of one man and the generous support of another...In the 1960's, the originator and preacher of the Lutheran Vespers radio hour, Dr. Harry R. Gregerson, was looking to expand the scope of his popular radio ministry. As his dream took shape, Dr. Gregerson realized there was the perfect location for his facility right in his own state of South Dakota in the Black Hills.

    version JULY 12, 2020 Rapid City Historic Preservation Commission Phase II: Thematic Framework for Cultural Resource Inventory “Our History, Our Future: An Updated Historic Context Document for the Rapid City Historic Preservation Commission (2020)” Project Overview In 2019, the Rapid City Historic Preservation Commission (RCHPC) engaged Vantage Point Historical Services, Inc. (VPHS) to update its Comprehensive Plan and Historic Context Document. Across the country, historic preservation commissions use these documents to organize information about historical and cultural resources into a narrative that identifies themes and property types to help communities make decisions about how to use, learn from, and preserve local history. Phase I of this project included a planning retreat that resulted in draft updates to the RCHPC’s mission statement and strategic plan, its Comprehensive Plan and Historic Context Document, including a chronological “Overview of Rapid City’s History” that identified important eras in the city’s past. The Commission also held two community outreach sessions to engage a diverse set of Rapid City’s residents and solicit their feedback. Phase II includes the development of this thematic framework, which builds on the chronological narrative in the Historic Context Document. The framework describes Rapid City’s environmental setting and illuminates three major themes and various subthemes that give meaning and structure to the history of the community. Public feedback on these themes was provided in a workshop in June, 2020. In this phase, the project team also identified representative property types (sites and structures) closely associated with the themes and subthemes in the framework and created various maps associated with the themes and the representative property types.
