Out of the Cornfields

Last Sunday, East End Cooperative Ministry hosted its Sixth Annual Houses of Worship Architectural Tour. We enjoyed a wonderful stroll through Squirrel Hill as we visited Church of the Redeemer, Sixth Presbyterian Church, and Temple Sinai.

Before the Tour, some friends of EECM gathered for a reception and a lecture by local architectural historian Eliza Smith Brown. She provided context for the tour by filling us in on what was happening in Pittsburgh and the East End at the time our congregations were constructed.

Pictures of the Tour are on the EECM website, here.

A transcript of Eliza's lecture is available here.

Enjoy and we'll see you next year at the 7th Annual Houses of Worship Architectural Tour!
