1927, Wallin and Comer, with N. Sargent Hamilton. 1400 Bull St.

Massive and uncompromising, this church is strikingly modern in its fundamentally simple Greek temple form and makes a fitting complement to the classical-porticoed St. Paul’s Greek Orthodox Church (Lawton Auditorium) of 1897–1898 directly across the street. Over a dozen full-width steps lead to a monumental pedimented porch supported by colossal fluted Doric columns. The virtually bare interior is similarly grand. Administrative spaces fill a two-story complex off the apse. The church erected its modernist Education Building in 1953, designed by architect Ralph S. Thomas.
