I was Googling for a set of 1939 orders of service from the Universalist National Memorial Church — where I was once minister and now, after a long break, am now a member — and found Sixteenth Street Architecture, a fine architectural survey of Washington, D.C. “avenue of churches” from just north of the White House to just south of Columbia Road, thus missing All Souls Unitarian, but capturing the recently-demolished brutalist Third Church of Christ, Scientist. (I blogged about it a few years ago.)
The section on UNMC is detailed and valuable, and includes photos of the construction.
You haven’t read any of the sermons/speeches at the dedication of this Church by any chance? I’d love to read them.
What a fabulous resource. I wonder if such detailed histories are available for some of our other significant buildings? How are the acoustics in the space for music and preaching?
