First Church Christ, Scientist

First Church of Christ Scientist.

Built by Spencer Beman in 1912 the Church of Christ Scientist held service for more than 75 years until it was converted into a residence over 20 years ago (Winerberg 2014: 85). The former church, which looks a little like Monticello, Thomas’ Jefferson’s home, is built of stucco over brick and features a colonnaded porch with side entryways, Frank Lloyd Wright inspired windows, and a cupola on the roof (Wineberg ibid.) Currently the owner plans to make the neoclassical building it a showplace for downtown living (aadl.org).
