Plymouth Congregational Church, Religious building in Coconut Grove, Miami, United States.
Plymouth Congregational Church in Coconut Grove is a stone building modeled on the old Spanish missions of Mexico, with a basilica-style interior and doors said to come from a Mexican mission. It stands at 3429 Devon Road, at the corner of Main Highway, and is surrounded by a walled garden.
The structure was built in 1917 on land donated by George Spalding and George E. Merrick to establish this religious community. It gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
The congregation brings together people from many different communities who gather for worship and community programs throughout the year. The walled garden serves as a gathering space where residents mark important occasions and celebrate together.
The church is easily accessible at a major intersection with parking available around the grounds. Services and various events take place throughout the year, so it helps to check ahead for current schedules and what activities are planned.
Felix Rebom built the church alone, using only a hatchet, a trowel, a plumb line and a T-square. The doors are said to come from a Spanish mission in Mexico, and one still has a round cat-hole, now covered with screen.
