Backstory and Context

This building was constructed in 1907, but was origonally a simple wood frame building and was in time left in disrepair. As such, in 1933, the building required a complete overhaul and restoration including a side addition. Later additions to the building were made in 1987. The 1933 restoration was done by church members led by Rev. T.E. Summers who coincidentally was also the father of local historian and author Carey Summers. While at first used by the Columbia Baptist Church, the site was bought by the South Side Church of Christ in 1970s who later overhauled the building in 1987.
