The First Baptist Church of Los Angeles, California, was
organized in 1874. The present edifice with 106 rooms
was completed in 1997. It contains an inspiring sanctu-
ary seating 1900, a chapel seating 300, and a recreation
hall seating 550. This building of Romanesque architecture
is one of the most beautiful on the Pacific Coast. It is lo-
cated at the corner of Eighth Street, Westmoreland and Lee-
ward Avenues, two blocks south of "Bullock's Wilshire.'
