The Sad Tale of the Destruction of a Beautiful Old Church in the Name of Progress
What a sad tale of progress - a beautiful old church, destroyed in the name of progress. Read the story of how this once grand building was lost forever, and the impact it had on its community.
What a beautiful old church, which was sadly destroyed in the name of progress. Ugh.
Circa 1924, “Metropolitan Methodist Church, C Street, Washington, D.C.” And the Ford building next door. National Photo Company glass negative. View full size. The church, at C Street NW and John Marshall Place, was abandoned and razed after the congregation moved to its Nebraska Avenue location in the 1930s. The 1905 Ford Motor Co. building on Pennsylvania Avenue was torn down in 1980.
