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.
The wrecking ball takes aim at the Kidder House south of Plymouth Congregational Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota. The neighborhood mansion was owned by William and Lorraine Kidder until the church purchased the property in 1957. For a decade it was used as a duplex residence for assistant ministers and housed youth programs in the lower level. The deteriorating building was razed in September, 1967, to expand parking.
The front of the Walgreen's warehouse on Nicollet Avenue is south of Plymouth Congregational Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota. The church's bell tower can be seen in the back. The church acquired the Walgreen's warehouse in 1954 for $80,000 and invested $71,350 to convert the warehouse to classrooms. The classrooms were used until the warehouse was demolished for the building expansion of 1967-1969.
Portrait of Rabbi Dr. Nahum Schulman, rabbi of Mikro Kodesh Synagogue. In 1949, Mikro Kodesh of Minneapolis, Minnesota was the largest orthodox synagogue in the Twin Cities. By the late 1960, due to Jewish families emigrating to the neighboring Saint Louis Park, the synagogue merged with a conservative synagogue and later became B'nai Emet Synagogue of Saint Louis Park, Minnesota.
