This small sign is affixed to the front of the Plaza Methodist Church at El Pueblo de Los Angeles, in downtown Los Angeles CA.
The sign reads as follows:
"PLAZA METHODIST CHURCH
1925-1926
This church is located on the site of the Tapia/Olvera adobe, which served as an early service building for the United Methodist Church mission in Los Angeles. The Methodist Church was also the founding agent in Southern California for Goodwill industries. The Adobe was torn down in 1917 and, nine years later, architects Train and Williams completed this Churrigeresque style church. The building was altered in the 1960s."
