Trees and shrubs are a visible part of Plymouth Congregational Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota. This picture appears to be a painted photograph of the front of the church. The fourth Plymouth Congregational Church building is located on Groveland Avenue between Nicollet and LaSalle Avenues in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The decision to follow its membership and move further south on Nicollet Avenue was inevitable but controversial. The building committee, led by Joseph Kingman, selected the Boston architectural firm Shepley, Rutan, and Coolidge. The style is English Rural Gothic inspired by the Congregational Church of Newton Centre, Massachusetts. The exterior is constructed of seam-faced granite from a quarry in St. Cloud, Minnesota. The interior features wooden trusses and oak paneling.

A photograph showing the front exterior of Temple Israel. Temple Israel was founded as congregation Shaari Tov ("Gates of Goodness") in 1878. The building in the picture was designed by architect Jack Liebenberg, dedicated in 1929. The Temple's pillared facade reflects Greek influence on early Judaism. The five doors represent five books of the Torah--Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.

A Christian clergyman is shown painting over Swastikas and anti-Semitic graffiti as an act of goodwill. Graffiti was found on windows, doors, walls and sidewalks at the synagogue.
