Summary
The church building, dedicated in 1918 in Omaha, is an early and fine example of the Colonial Revival style, designed by John and Alan McDonald. The building reproduces in the Midwest an eighteenth century house of worship typical of the New England region where Unitarianism originated. Former U.S. President William Howard Taft, then serving as president of the Unitarian Church Conference, officiated at the cornerstone-laying ceremony.
