Picture postcard of Park Place Methodist Episcopal Church South, a Classical Revival style building, San Diego

 

circa 1915

 

 

The reverse of this picture postcard bears a seal of the Panama-California Exposition of 1915, giving a time period within which this card was distributed. What appears to be a hand-tinted photograph shows people in the dress of this time, along with streetcar tracks on an unpaved street. Built in 1910 in the Classical Revival style, this structure housed the Park Place Methodist Episcopal Church. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in the United States in 1983. The cupola with stained glass dome and statue of the Archangel Raphael, along with the stained glass windows, do not have natural colors in this photograph. The windows are blue, the angel gold, and the dome appears to take on different colors. The Methodist Episcopal Church, South, split off from the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1845, in those states where enslavement still held, reuniting with the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1939. The publishers were active from 1912-1987.
