The Church of the Annunciation is a church in Rice County, Minnesota in Webster Township near Northfield. It was designed by John Wheeler, in the Craftsman style, and has an ornamental corner tower.[2][3] A study of historic properties in Rice County says that its architecture also includes Shingle Style.[4] The church was originally opened in 1853, and after a lightning strike burned down the original chapel, the current chapel was built and completed in 1913. It continues to operate to this day.
