The congregation's first church had been destroyed by a tornado, and its second church, a brick one, was built in 1887. This was destroyed in a fire on April 1, 1921.[2] It was designed by Minneapolis architect Harry Wild Jones, who was a student of H. H. Richardson, in Richardsonian Romanesque style.[2]

Its NRHP nomination in 2004 noted that the church's exterior stucco, its interior finishes and furnishings, and its "many priceless stained glass windows have been carefully maintained over the years" by the small congregation.[2]
