| Significance |
|
|
|
This church building was built in 1907. The subject building resulted from a substantial rehabilitation in 1933 of an earlier wood frame church building located on the site. The rehab work was undertaken by a volunteer committee of church members, led by the Rev. T.E. Summers, father of Columbia City historian and author Carey Summers. The Columbia Baptist Church originally occupied the building. The Southside Church of Christ congregation purchased the property in the 1970s, and it was remodeled again in 1987.

The fenestration consists of pointed arch windows of varying sizes. Low pitch shed roof additions are located on each of the side elevations; an east side addition was likely built in 1933, while the current side additions were built in 1987. |
