until a church was built at that same
location in 1885. For 80 years this was
the only church in the District OF Co.

newer sections of the city, property was
secured at Thirteenth and Monroe
streets. A portable chapel was erected
on this site. Later this property was
disposed of and the site at the south
east corner of Fifteenth and Irving
streets was secured. The chapel was
moved to this location.
When President Woodrow Wilson was
inaugurated he attended the church
the first Sunday of his administration.
In April, 1913, he wrote he and his
family would attend the church regu-
larly. Upon receipt of this letter DR..
Taylor conferred with President Wilson,
telling him that the church had pur-
chased property at fifteenth and Six
teenth and Irving streets and planned
to move to that location. President
Wilson assured him Of his interest and
support in this plan. In October, 1913,
work was begun on the new church
building.

December 10, 1918, President Wilson
laid the corner stone Of this new build
ing and made an address on that oc-
casion. The building was completed In
May, 1914 The pew occupied by Presi-
plate.
On January rs, 1925, a tablet COM
memorating the organization of the
church and the membership of Presi-
dent Wilson in the congregation Of the
church was unveiled by President Calvin
Coolidge.
A few years ago the property on
Irving street adjacent to the church
was acquired and in August. 1880, work
was begun on the new Sunday school
building. On Thanksgiving day, 1880,
