Organized in 1869, a congregational mission of the First Presbyterian Church to serve the transient community in this area. Early, the e group met at a frame building at 7th & Hickory, which was later placed on rollers and moved to an area near Floyd School. The church convinced the City Council to allow them to have ½ the block and reserve the other half for Floyd School playground.
The First Presbyterian church established the mission recognizing that there were no other Protestant churches nearer than 11th St on the east, Robidoux on the north, and beyond the viaduct to the south.Collection
