The style is English Rural Gothic inspired by the Congregational Church of Newton Centre, Massachusetts. The exterior is constructed of seam-faced granite from a quarry in St. Cloud, Minnesota. The interior features wooden trusses and oak paneling.

The Plymouth Zouaves (Company A Second Minnesota Regiment of the Boys Brigade) are in uniform on the eighth street side of Plymouth Congregational Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Five of the church's memorial windows are in the background. Some of these windows were donated to the Congregational Church of Wayzata in 1916. In 2014 the windows remain in that church (now the Universalist Unitarian Church of Minnetonka). 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.
