Description
The
front
of the
nave
of the
Westminster
Presbyterian
Church
at
Thirteenth
and
N
Streets
is
visible
in this
June
16
,
1928
,
photograph
.
Below
the
centered
tapestry
sits
the
church’s
choir
loft
and
15,000
dollar
pipe
organ
, a
four
manual
echo
variety
with
2,035
pipes
and a
20-tube
chime
. The
structure’s
tower
was also
built
with an
echo
organ
. The
organ
,
furniture
and
other
contents
of the
church
were
almost
lost
due
to
ebbing
membership
(a
drop
of
310
between
1931
and
1936)
,
plummeting
property
values
, and
income
during
the
Great
Depression
,
forcing
the
congregation
to
take
out
a
second
mortgage
. But, by
1936
, and
after
a
reevaluation
of
church
indebtedness
,
creditors
,
including
Bank
of
America
,
substantially
dropped
the
required
payments
on the
first
trust
of
deed
. By
1945
, and
after
several
fundraisers
,
Westminster
was in the
financial
clear
.
