The First Church of God in Christ building in north Minneapolis, photographed Sept. 6, 2025, was once home to the Tifereth B’nai Jacob Synagogue, erected in 1926 by Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe. The building preserves much of its original art and architecture and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in November 2024.
