Why should the beautiful die?

First Christian Church, Allegheny West

First Christian Church

This interesting modernist church was built in 1963, as we find from the attractive plaque by the entrance:

The balance of modern design and hand-crafted artisanship in the lettering is very appealing.

Front of the church

The architects of the church were Williams & Trebilcock.1 The church was dedicated on April 5, 1964; it replaced a building that had been next to the old Presbyterian Hospital. This building now belongs to Living Word Ministry.
