McCarty Memorial Christian Church
historic place
The McCarty Memorial Christian Church, a historic place in Los Angeles, is located at 4101 West Adams Boulevard. Dedicated in May 1932, the church was built in the English Gothic Revival style. Architects Thomas P. Barber and Paul Kingsbury designed the structure, funded by Dr. and Mrs. Isaac A. McCarty. Notable features include stained glass windows, arcaded ambulatories, and a 130-foot tower. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in January 2002. In the mid-1950s, McCarty Memorial Christian Church became significant for integrating its congregation, transitioning to a multi-racial community under Reverend Kring Allen. This reflected broader demographic changes in the West Adams neighborhood. The church stands as a historical example of architectural design and social evolution in Los Angeles.
