Old Christian Reformed Church

Notes:

This large but simple two-story wooden building has an attic, two chimneys, fourteen visible standard sash windows (a white cloth hangs from one) and four separate entrance doors (one with the address 239). All this suggests the building was converted into housing. At the door farthest away stand two African American women, one holding a large washtub. A utility pole with wires and an old streetlight is in the foreground. On the back of the photograph is written: "[Located] on Market St., the second church built in Grand Rapids. Williams St. S.W." Dated "1929."
