Dayton's Bluff Neighborhood

St. Peter's Protestant Episcopal Church

754-758 East Fourth Street Built: 1888, 1905 Style: Victorian Gothic / Craftsman Gothic This stone church is the only remaining 19th century church building remaining in the community. The original structure was designed by St. Paul architect William H. Willcox, formerly a leading church designer in Chicago and New York City. The major part of the sanctuary was added in 1905 by Clarence Johnston, Sr., designer of Minnesota State Historical Society (now the Minnesota Judicial Center) and the Minnesota State Office Building, both located on either side of the Minnesota State Capitol. The church was built of Platteville limestone trimmed with brownstone and is rendered in the Victorian Gothic / Craftsman Gothic styles. This church was once an important meeting place for the wealthier New England stock in the neighborhood. The structure was converted to condominiums in the 1970s.
