The Congregational Church and Manse in Santee, Nebraska, on the Santee Sioux Reservation in Knox County, Nebraska, is a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. [1]
The Pilgrim Congregational Church and its manse are the two buildings in the listing. Both were built in 1870-71 after the arrival of missionary Reverend Alfred L. Riggs and his wife Mrs. Mary B. Riggs. [2] [3] : 275 Riggs (or his father?) was known as "Zitkadanwaste" among the Sioux and had worked with the Santee Sioux in their native Minnesota as far back as 1837.(?) Riggs' father began working with the Sioux in 1857. [3]
Riggs operated the Santee Normal Training School there. [2] The school was founded by the American Board in 1870, but control transferred to the American Missionary Association (A.M.A.) in 1982. [3]
The church was extended to the rear in 1919.
The chapel and manse were documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1952, which produced measured drawings and photos of both.
In 1970, both buildings were intact and unaltered; the manse needed a coat of paint and the church needed minor repairs inside. [2]
The pair was listed on the NRHP in 1972. [1]
The Santee Normal Training School operated from 1870 to 1936. Albert Riggs was principal and had two assistants. [4] By 1885 there were 18 buildings on the school's 400 acres (160 ha). [4]
Riggs died in 1916 and was buried about one mile east. [2] His son Frederick Riggs replaced him in running the school. [4]

The town dwindled from a population of 500 to a few dozen after an early university left in the 1870s, it failed to get a railroad connection, and the nation suffered a financial depression.

The building formerly known as Godalming Congregational Church was the Congregational chapel serving the ancient town of Godalming, in the English county of Surrey, between 1868 and 1977. It superseded an earlier chapel, which became Godalming's Salvation Army hall, and served a congregation which could trace its origins to the early 18th century. The "imposing suite of buildings", on a major corner site next to the Town Bridge over the River Wey, included a schoolroom and a manse, and the chapel had a landmark spire until just before its closure in 1977. At that time the congregation transferred to the nearby Methodist chapel, which became a joint Methodist and United Reformed church with the name Godalming United Church. The former chapel then became an auction gallery before being converted into a restaurant; then in 2018 the premises were let to the Cotswold Company to be converted into a furniture and home accessories showroom. In 1991 the former chapel was listed at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance.
