The House of Hope Presbyterian Church in Saint Paul, Minnesota was founded in 1907, by the merger of two churches that were founded in 1849 and 1855.[1]
Its building was designed by noted architect Ralph Adams Cram starting in 1909; the church was completed in 1914. It is a Gothic Revival style church with flying buttresses needed to support walls thin enough for stained glass windows.[2]
The church was expanded in 1959. It received a 2014 St. Paul Heritage Preservation Award for completion of a major restoration of the church and its bell tower costing $3.2 million that including replacing the slate roof and adding copper flashings.[3]
