Building at the corner of 6th and Walnut

[Southbanker]

Does anybody know what the building at the corner of 6th and Walnut across from 3 Layers used to be?  For that matter, I am also curious what the 3 Layers building used to be back in SPR's glory days.

Thanks

At one time, the building where Three Layers is located was a dry cleaner I have been told.  More recently, the building was a church up until 2003, when it was sold to some investors who sold it to the current owners.

You should have seen it as a church.  More like a cave.  All the windows were boarded up and a  hallway went around the inside perimeter of the building with small rooms.  The congregation was in the center. Dark red carpet, dark paneling.  Musty and spooky.

Amazing the transformation.  I wished it could've been videoed for a tv show or something.

The way you describe in Sigma it sounds more like a cult HQ than a church.

It was a church, nice preacher who lived between 6th and 7th on Walnut.  He also owned the building on the SW corner of 7th and Walnut which I heard was recently sold again.

The church was boarded up due to being in a bad neighborhood for a long time.  Not very many members and they scraped by financially.  But a cult, hardly.  Methodist from what I remember.
