ca. 1932. Buckley King Funeral Church, corner of Tacoma Ave. South and South First St. The church was built in 1927, one of two funeral churches in the US. The Romanesque-Italian structure became a model for buildings of this kind. It was designed by Hill & Mock, architects, and built by Steiro & Hansen, contractors. The building is constructed of Far West Clay Co. brick and trimmed with Wilkeson sandstone. In 1987, the structures were purchased by the adjacent First Presbyterian Church.
