Description
Image is a reproduction.; Title supplied by cataloger. The impressive Angelus Temple was conceived by Aimee Semple McPherson for the thousands who came to hear her preach. When Aimee passed the plates for "offerings" she pleaded for "...greenbacks, no loose change..." and got the greenbacks. Her followers believed she preached the true gospel, and opened their pocketbooks. Angelus Temple was dedicated on January 1, 1923. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992, Building #92001875. The exterior of Aimee Semple McPherson's Angelus Temple in Echo Park, Los Angeles. Alice, a woman of Hungarian ancestry, emigrated to Los Angeles from Canada looking for a cure from A.S. McPherson but later passed away in one of the sick rooms at the Temple, leaving behind a five year old daughter.
