2nd Baptist Church Documentation
Workshop & Tour
Designed by Paul R. Williams and built in 1926, this National Register Romanesque Revival Church is most significant for its contribution to the African American history in Los Angeles. Martin Luther King, Jr. preached at the church many times and considered it his “West Coast home”.
The church was able to reopen its main sanctuary after being closed for several years due to structural deterioration. A grant from the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund enabled a preservation team comprised of a historic architect, historians, structural and MEP engineers and documentation specialists to complete an HSR, conditions survey and provide conceptual design recommendations to enable to the church building to preserve the church and continue to serve the congregation for generations to come.
The team will lead a presentation on the HSR, workshop documentation, and design recommendations as well as review of the grants obtained. After the presentation, a tour of the church building will follow.
Schedule: Saturday, January 24th
9:45 Check-In @ Entrance
10:00 Welcome/Presentation
The team will lead a presentation on the HSR, documentation, and design recommendations as well as a review of the grants obtained.
