Title: Berea Presbyterian Church
Description: Taken in March of 1969, the photo shows the interior of the Berea Presbyterian Church at 3010 Olive Street. It was organized in 1898 to serve the African American community surrounding it. The building survived the Mill Creek Valley urban renewal project and still stands today, though the Berea Presbyterian Church has since moved to Russell Boulevard.
