The Church's Early Days
When it was first built, the building was a church. It was home to the St. Andrew's Episcopal Church community. Between 1905 and 1914, another building was added. This was a separate hall built south of the main chapel. It was used for church activities and gatherings.
Becoming an Official Parish
For many years, St. Andrew's grew. In 1946, it became an official parish. This meant it was a fully recognized church community. More and more people joined the church.
A New Home for the Church
By 1966, the small chapel was getting too crowded. The church community had grown too big for the building. So, a new, larger church was built. This new church was about 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) south. It was built on East Park Avenue.
The Building's New Purpose
After the church moved, the old building was sold. It was bought by the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army is a group that helps people in need. They still use the building today. It serves as their Corps Community Center. Here, they offer many services to the community.
