Phillips, Minneapolis
Phillips, Minneapolis

Phillips is a community in Minneapolis, just south of downtown. Phillips is a diverse area in many ways: its population includes people of many nationalities; it has a mix of residential, commercial and industrial uses; and it is home to several large employers such as Abbott Northwestern Hospital, Wells Fargo Mortgage and Allina Health Care Services along with small neighborhood businesses. Traditionally, it was both a community and a neighborhood (in Minneapolis, a neighborhood is a subdivision of a community). On May 9, 2002, Phillips neighborhood was subdivided into four smaller neighborhoods. The official neighborhoods are now known as Ventura Village, Phillips West, East Phillips, and Midtown Phillips. Though not an officially designated neighborhood, Phillips also includes the Little Earth residential area. The boundaries of the Phillips community are Interstate 94 to the north, Hiawatha Avenue to the east, Lake Street to the south, and Interstate 35W to the west. The neighborhood was named after Wendell Phillips, a 19th century abolitionist. It was in this neighborhood that the American Indian Movement was founded in 1968.The $189 million redevelopment of the vacant Sears building at Chicago Avenue and Lake Street into a mixed-use development of offices, hotel, retail and housing located in Midtown Phillips is one of the most important projects undertaken in the city in recent times. At the east side of the community, along the Hiawatha Avenue transit corridor, the Little Earth Trail connects many smaller neighborhoods, parks, businesses, and multi-use trails.

Augustana Lutheran Church (Minneapolis)
Augustana Lutheran Church (Minneapolis)

Augustana Lutheran Church is a church in the Elliot Park neighborhood of Minneapolis, built in the Gothic Revival style. Architect William H. Dennis built the church in 1883. The church building, located 704 11th Ave. S., was home to many Scandinavian parishioners in the early decades of existence. The church initially served a large immigrant population in the city of Minneapolis, and the congregation often heard from pastors who traveled from Sweden and Norway. As the downtown population changed, the church congregants also shifted. By the 1960s, many Lutherans attended newer churches in suburban Twin Cities neighborhoods. By 2014, the church had fewer than 100 members, who sold the building.The church was built of yellow brick with red brick accents. The sanctuary was built to be illuminated by the tall, narrow stained glass windows. The 800-seat sanctuary features a curved balcony and the pipes of a 1904 Estey organ (though the actual organ was replaced in 1955 by M.P. Moller). The architect of the building was known for French Renaissance Revival works in Minnesota, including the Vendome Hotel on the corner of Fourth Street and Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis.Several additions were added onto the original structure throughout the 1940s–1970s. The building's block consists only of one other building: another large brick church on the northwest corner. Both are surrounded by parking lots. Hope Community Church owns both buildings and the parking lots. Hope, a 75-year-old congregation of more than 1,500 members, is affiliated with the Evangelical Free Church of America. The congregation serendipitously purchased the Augustana Lutheran Church building, allowing them to expand from the other church on the block, which they had owned since 2003. Now Augustana Lutheran Church is known as Hope Community Church East.
