CHURCH TO OCCUPY
NEW AUDITORIUM
New EdifiCe Provides Seating
Capacity for More Than
1000 Persons.

The Fourth Church of Christ, Sci
enlist, Sixteenth, Oak and Meridian
streets, will occupy the auditorium of
its new edifice for the first time to-
morrow.
The exterior of the structure is fin
ished in variegated Indiana limestone.
Howard L. Cheney of Chicago is the
architect and the general contractor is
the N. P. SEVERN Co, also of Chicago.
The building. situated well back from
Sixteenth street, is approached by a
broad flight of granite steps which lead
TO the main entrance through a curved
portico supported by four large fluted
Greek doric columns. The entrance
portico is balanced along the Meridian
and Oak streets facades by similar curry
ing bays. each supported by four en-
gagged columns. The central portion of
the building is carried in two stepbacks
and houses the broad coffered dome
which forms the main feature Of the
auditorium.
Besides the main auditorium seating
more than a thousand persons and the
Sunday school, with capacity for 700
pupils, the church contains large en-
trance foyer which extends below the
balcony portion of the building. Coat
room lobbies and coatrooms are pro-
vided off the foyer on the auditorium
floor level Rooms for the readers, So
loist and organist are placed behind
the readers platform. The board OF
trustees will have suite of rooms, in
Guiding an Office There also will be
ushers rooms and committee rooms,
while provision has been made in the
auditorium for a very fine pipe organ.
The church is the fourth established
in Washington as an authorized branch
of the mother church, the First Church
of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass.
It's charter members came from First
Church of Christ. Scientist, Columbia
road and Euclid street. in 1919, to meet
a need in that section of the city for
another church.
Services were held in the Arcade,
Fourteenth and Park road. for seven
years and then in the Masonic audi
forum in Brightwood. The land Tor
the new edifice was purchased in 1920,
the corner stone laid in February, 1928:
and the Sunday school room occupied
by the congregation temporarily for
church services since last September.
The church maintains reading room
in the Tivoli Building, Fourteenth street
and Park road.
