Designed by the city's first African-American architect, this unique Art
Moderne-style structure reflects the innovative character of the
congregation that built it. Founded by the Rev. Clarence H. Cobbs, the
church figured prominently in the history of Christian radio
broadcasting and in the development of gospel music. Another architect
added the twin towers to the terra cotta facade in 1946. |
