Among the Churches

Current Notes

Berkeley, California (Second Church).—Second Church of Christ, Scientist, will meet for the first time in its new edifice on Spruce Street. On the new property of the church, a commanding site, facing west with one hundred and twenty feet frontage, this beautiful structure has been erected. The architecture is a fusion of early Christian detail and the best Anglo-Saxon style, chosen with a desire to adapt the historical traditions of the earliest Christian churches of the East to the present day. It is a solid masonry building with a tile roof, and has massive double walls of interlocking, steel reinforced, cast stone, known as thermotite, built around a heavy reinforced concrete and timber structure. The main high-roofed, open-trussed auditorium, seating five hundred people, stands in the center of the site. It has cast stone walls, trussed timbered ceiling, and a concrete floor.—Berkeley Gazette.
