Religion, Churches, Interesting Places, Other Churches

The Congregational Church of Blair at 16th and Colfax Sts. in Blair, Nebraska is a Carpenter Gothic church that has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1979.

The church was founded in 1870. The building was constructed in 1874 by local builder George Sutherland, according to a design by Omaha architect Charles F. Driscoll whose plans won out over architect A. Roberts, each of whom received $25 for their submissions. Carpenter Gothic style is rare in the state, and this is believed to be the only non-Episcopalian church example. (Architect Richard Upjohn popularized the style for rural Episcopalian churches.) It was renovated and extended in 1884, 1908, and 1957.
