View of a small church building, built 1870 in Wilmington, California. [Not a school house as indicated in the writing on the photograph.] School House, Wilmington, Calif."--text on image. Title devised by cataloger. Date range approximated by cataloger based on the year that film negatives came into use and the latest known dates indicated for other Hazard images in the Huntington's collection. Note: this is a print - the original negative is not in this collection. Research shows the caption on this print is incorrect - it is not a school, but Memory Chapel, the first home of Calvary Presbyterian Church, built in Wilmington in 1870. (Source: Seaman, Simie, ed. "Wilmington," Arcadia Publishing, 2008.) This building is still standing, and is a designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.
