Notes

Jeff Scofield on May 11, 2022:

The congregation numbered over 3,000 members when the church was built; when they closed, they were down to 60; the 840-seat sanctuary and the rest of the building are being converted to luxury condos; the organ was donated by the building's new owners to a church in Tallahassee.
