Union City Mission, Minneapolis

This mission, supported by several religious groups of different denominations, was established in 1895 by T.E. Hughes and C. M Stocking. It initially met on Nicollet Avenue (address unknown) and later rented the Miller Hotel on the corner of 2nd Avenue South and Washington Avenue, renaming it St. James. In 1914 the mission moved to the Pence Building at 122 Hennepin Avenue. This building burned and on September 1, 1916, the group opened their new building, the St. James Hotel, at 128 Hennepin.  The mission also owned a farm of 200 acres at Medicine Lake, which included 9 main buildings (including dormitories and a dining hall), 35 teepees, 5 igloos, and 13 cottages, as well as a Tabernacle completed in 1935.
