The Holloway Street Christian Church appears to have been located at the corner of Spruce St. and Holloway St. sometime between 1923 and 1928. The sanctuary pictured above was built by 1937, but by its appearance, probably replaced an earlier structure.

The church appears to have been torn down between 1957 and 1960; a new sanctuary was built across Spruce St., at 1118 Holloway.



The new sanctuary is now occupied by the Progressive Holiness Church; I'm not sure what happened to Holloway St. Christian.

Found in an old deed the church changed its name from Holloway Street Christian Church to First Christian Church on Sept 30 1962
