Churches - Hennepin Ave United Methodist by yooperprof
Edwin Hewitt, chief architect of the Hennepin Ave UMC, created this exuberant pseudo-medieval edifice in the early twentieth century. It reminds some people of the famous church on Mont St. Michel in Normandy. Interestingly, Hewitt was born in nearby Red Wing Minnesota, a town with a distinguished architectural history of its own. Hewitt was educated chiefly at Harvard, but also spent several formative years at the prestigious Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris.The actual address in 511 Groveland.
Hewitt was also involved (with Edwin Brown) in the creation of another Hennepin Avenue monument, the nearby Episcopal Cathedral of St. Mark's.
