Emerson Avenue Baptist Church has been an important institution in the neighborhood since 1921. Located at the northwest corner of North Emerson Avenue and East Michigan Street, the church used to be sheathed in brick but was later covered in Bedford Stone after some significant additions. In these two photos, both taken in the mid-twentieth century, you can see the brick facades. In the case of the 1948 image, we have the names of every child in the photo. The opposite is true for the 1956 image so if you recognize anyone let us know!
