Originally a Synagogue, Baptists purchased the church in 1954. For years it was the tallest structure in Chinatown, and still holds its own amid its new multi-story neighbors. Each turret used to be covered with an onion dome, giving the building an eastern flavor. A ring around the moon is a portent of snow.
