House of Hope Presbyterian Church, Summit Avenue, Summit Hill, Saint Paul, MN
Built in 1914, this church was designed in the English Gothic Revival style by Ralph Adams Cram of the firm Cram, Goodhue, and Ferguson for the House of Hope Presbyterian Church, the result of the merger of two Saint Paul Presbyterian congregations in 1907. The church was expanded in 1959, with the addition of a new eastern wing to house church offices and Sunday School classrooms, and renovations to the original building. The church’s Noyes Memorial Carillon features 49 bells, making it the largest in Minnesota, and is located in a gothic-style tower towards the rear of the west side of the building. The church features a smooth limestone exterior with gothic arched windows and door openings, a cloister between the original structure and the 1959 addition, and a western wing with a complex roofline and eclectic medieval elements including multiple oriels and windows of varying sizes and shapes. The church is a contributing structure in the Historic Hill District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
