Plymouth Congregational Church construction, from corner of Groveland Avenue and Vine Place (later LaSalle Avenue), 1900 Nicollet Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota
Construction begins of Plymouth Congregational Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Kidder House, purchased by the church in 1957, is to the right. 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.
