Description
Pictured on January 16, 1929, at 2324 L Street is the First Baptist Church, as seen from the northeast corner of Twenty-Fourth and L Streets. Built that same year, the church’s auditorium was designed to seat up to 800 with a Sunday school room that could hold up to 750 children. It was additionally fitted with a social hall, pastor’s study and Sunday school classrooms. Founded in 1861, the congregation had previously been based at Ninth, between L and M Streets, in a building that was built in 1877. Once the group moved out, the property was taken over by the Sutter Club which razed the old church and built a new clubhouse.
