"The First Church of Christ Scientist is located on the west end of a block consisting of one - and two -story apartment buildings, small hotels , and another church building. The area is isolated from the main thoroughfare of South Palm Canyon Drive by a large, vacant parcel of land to the west , and the ge nerally d ry Tahquitz River to the north. Constructed in 1956, the one -story church building is modest in size, exhibiting architectural elements associated with the work of Albert Frey including a shed roof, deep eaves with metal fascia, sandblasted terra cotta colored concrete block construction, large windows, and slender steel posts . The building is in excellent condition and retains a high level of historic and physical integrity." (visit link)
