Wedding at No. 9th St. and Oxford Church made from an old barn, Times, Paul Lantz. A man is working in a deep trench that appears to go around the front of the converted barn which was 32 feet by 48 feet. An altar, stained glass windows (purchased for $50 from a church that was being torn down) and the steeple were added to the barn on the hill above Narrows at North 9th and Oxford Streets and became the Skyline Boulevard Christian Church. The church was sponsored by the Washington State Christian Missionary Society. (T.Times, 8/16/1947, p.4)
