He designed over 33 Christian Science church buildings and wrote a book called Christian Science Church Edifices which features this church as well as many others. . Built in 1937 to replace the church's previous building at 222 East Blue Earth Avenue, its steepled redbrick front elevation looks west to Wards Park and beyond that to Sisseton Lake.
