Episcopal Church
This is St Augustine of Canterbury Church, which was formerly located on 5th and Broadway. In 1912 the church building was moved to 3rd and Salem.

Hi Dan... In the interest of accuracy I must inform you that the building above at the time of the photo was St. John the Evangelist Episcopal Church, which is now located on Floral Ave. St. Augustine purchased the building after the closure of the restaurant and night club back in the 1990s. St. John's, not St. Augustine's, was originally located at 5th and Broadway. I believe St. Augustine's congregation split off from St. John's sometime back in the 1980s, because they were unhappy with the move of the church and because the Episcopal Church had become too liberal.
