Later it was occupied by Redeemed Temple of Jesus Christ (during 1982–2001).[3]Шаблон:Rp It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.[2]

The First Street church building is now occupied by the Blind Whino Arts Club,[4] and was repainted with a full wrap-around mural.

The building has a central gable facade with two corner towers. It is described as having "a vernacular interpretation of the Romanesque Revival style with some Gothic Revival details (namely lancet arch windows)."[3]
