Picture postcard of the First Baptist Church on Tenth Avenue, San Diego, known as the "White Temple"

 

circa 1915

 

 

This is a picture postcard depicting what looks like a hand-colored photograph of the First Baptist Church (known as the "White Temple") at 930 Tenth Street in San Diego, California. This is the third venue for this congregation (the 2nd on the same site), the fourth on Governor Drive in 2013. It is known that the First Baptist Church, built at this address in 1888, succeeded the "Old Baptist Church" on Seventh Avenue, and by 1969 the White Temple was vacated for the third venue. This structure exists in 2013 and is occupied by the 10th Avenue Theatre and Arts Centre. Five postcards of this building exist in this postcard collection, three black and white and two apparently hand colored. On the reverse of this card, there is a logo of the Panama-California Exposition of 1915, placing this postcard at around this time.
