Central Presbyterian Church circa 1876
View northwest across Golden Gate Avenue (then Tyler) between Taylor and Jones. Built in 1873, then moved to Golden Gate and Polk and heavily remodeled in 1883. A description of this building is in the 1875 Langley Directory: 'The building is an octagon shape, surmounted by a dome from which suspends a sunburner [gas fixture], which is the only light used. The walls are handsomely frescoed and contain appropriate mottoes from the 'Beatitudes.' A splendid organ fills up the entire east wall. [G810 CHU-026] (GGNRA/Behrman GOGA 35346)
