1. Plymouth Congregational Church Pulpit and Communion Table, 1900 Nicollet Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota
- Date Created:
- 1909?
- Description:
- The oak communion table of Plymouth Congregational Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota, has paneled gothic tracery. The table is on the floor of the sanctuary and thus at the same time level with the congregation. According to Congregational tradition, this placement suggests the table where Jesus gathered his disciples together for the Last Supper. The fourth Plymouth Congregational Church building is located on Groveland Avenue between Nicollet and LaSalle Avenues in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The decision to follow its membership and move further south on Nicollet Avenue was inevitable but controversial. The building committee, led by Joseph Kingman, selected the Boston architectural firm Shepley, Rutan, and Coolidge. 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.
