Plymouth Congregational Church, Miami

The Plymouth Congregational Church is a protestant church in Miami. It is one of the finest examples of Spanish mission style architecture with its unique design detail and craftsmanship. It was included in the US National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

The Plymouth Congregational Church was organized by protestant pioneer settlers in 1897. The congregation increased gradually and relocated twice before the present church was built. The present building was designed by well known New York based church architect, Clinton B. McKenzie. It was built between 1916 and 1917. The congregation saw an increase from 100 members to 2000 between 1947 and 1971 and additional buildings designed by Robert Law Weed were constructed to accommodate them between 1954 and 1959. Two transepts and a new chancel were added during this time. The church remains an important religious institution in the Coconut Grove region of Miami till today.

The church is a beautiful structure with two bell towers and a curved gable roof. It also has an ornate front entrance and a 375 year old door that was brought from a monastery in the Pyrenees Mountains. The exterior is made of native Oolitic limestone. The stonework was performed by a single stone mason, a Spanish craftsman named Felix Rebom.
