Pilgrim Congregational Church is a Congregational church in Duluth, Minnesota. The current building at 2310 East Fourth Street has English Gothic architecture.[1] HistoryMajor Luman H. Tenney and his wife led the foundation of the Pilgrim Congregational Church in 1870.[2] In January 1871, Reverend Doctor Charles Cotton Salter of New Haven, Connecticut became the first pastor.[2] The parishioners built a modest wooden structure at 2 East Second Street that was dedicated on July 16, 1871.[2][3] Pilgrim Church's second building, used from 1888 to 1915, was designed by William H. Willcox and Clarence H. Johnston, Sr, also at East Second Street and Lake Avenue.[3] Duluth architects Frederick German and Leif Jenssen designed the current building at Fourth Street and 23rd Avenue East.[3][4] The estimated cost of construction was $100,000.[5] The first service was held at this building on September 24, 1917.[3] ArchitectureStained glass windowsThe church has five paired memorial Tiffany glass windows created by Louis Comfort Tiffany from around 1918 to 1923.[6][7] Three of these bear his signature, but the other two are believed to be authentic as well.[7] There are two additional paired memorial windows that imitate the style of Tiffany glass.[7] Behind the altar, there is a large stained glass window created by Odell Prather and dedicated in 1979.[7] OrganThe church's organ is a French classical organ made by Daniel J. Jaeckel[7] References
