The Congregational Church of Blair in Nebraska, founded in 1870, is a rare example of Carpenter Gothic architecture constructed in 1874 by local builder George Sutherland from designs by Omaha architect Charles F. Driscoll. The style, which Richard Upjohn popularized for rural Episcopalian churches, is uncommonly seen in Nebraska, and this building is believed to be the only non-Episcopalian church in the state constructed in this manner. Now affiliated with the United Church of Christ, the structure underwent renovations and extensions in 1884, 1908, and 1957, and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1979.
