The church building was moved from 56th Avenue West and Main Street to 60th Avenue West and Worden Street in 1900. This photograph was taken while the church was located at 60th Avenue West and Worden Street. The building was moved to its present location of 59th Avenue West and Greene Street between 1903 and 1907 and became the back of the new church building that was constructed in 1913.
On October 22, 1920 this Hibbing, Minnesota hotel was ready to relocate. A newspaper account on January 5, 1921 informed readers the hotel was a $19,000 loss for the joint owners when it collapsed January 4, 1921. The hotel was being moved from "old" Hibbing to "new" Hibbing and skidded from the moving trucks.
