On this tour, you’ll uncover the fascinating story of its founding in 1927, where plans for a grand Gothic church were delayed to assist families during the Great Depression. Learn about the innovative 1962 mid-century modern design by Albert W. Walters, featuring a groundbreaking hyperbolic paraboloid roof held up by underground steel cables.
