The former First Church of Christ, Scientist at 205 Albion Avenue in
Fairmont, Minnesota, United States, is a historic
Christian Science church building. It was designed in the
Colonial Revival style by
Chicago architect
Charles Draper Faulkner, who was renowned for the churches and other buildings that he designed in the United States and
Japan. He designed over 33 Christian Science church buildings and wrote a book called Christian Science Church Edifices, which features this church as well as many others. Built in 1937 to replace the church's previous building at
222 East Blue Earth Avenue, its
steepledredbrick front elevation looks west to Wards Park and beyond that to
Sisseton Lake. The church is no longer in existence and the building is now the Lakeview Funeral Home.[1][2][3]
