J. Roscoe Furber (Church Moderator) and Howard Conn (Senior Minister) attend the unveiling of a plaque that marks the former location of Plymouth Congregational Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota, at the dedication of the new Midwest Federal Building. In 2014 a Barnes and Nobles is located on the ground floor. In 1875, Plymouth Congregational Church opened its third building four blocks south of the second church on the southeast corner of Eighth Street and Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where a small boarding house had stood. Unsatisfied with the work of local architects, Plymouth�s minister, Henry Stimson, with the help of choir member Samuel Gale, sketched a design and then recruited New York architect Russell Sturgis, who reluctantly agreed to use the design. The structure was unusual for Minneapolis. The large interior included gallery seating. The exterior combined stone and brick. The congregation worshipped here until 1907, when growing membership once again forced the congregation to move to its location on Groveland Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
