The architectural style chosen for the Church of the Transfiguration was basilican. Basilica style churches were popular in the 4th to 6th centuries in Europe.

The process of creating the exterior stone involved one week's work from quarry block to finished piece. 70 truckloads were necessary to deliver the blocks of stone.

A typical church stone measured 2 ft. X 4 ft. X 4 in, weighed 500 pounds, and was formed in Minnesota thousands of centuries ago.
