First Congregational Church is a historic church in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It was built in 1907 and was added to the National Register in 1983.
It is a -story church with unequal towers at its front corners and a "tower-like structure" on its north facade which holds the rear entrance.[1]
A two-story educational wing was added 1955. This structure, designed by Lucas, Craig & Whitwam, originally had a curtain wall of glass and dark panels with aluminum framing on the west facade (i.e. front facade).[2] [3] At some point after the 1983 nomination to the register, this facade was replaced with an attempt to copy the Richardsonian Romanesque exterior of the 1907 church.
