Description
A
photograph
of
Belmont
Church
,
now
located
at
64
Music
Square
East
.
Originally
the
church
was
called
Belmont
Avenue
Church
of
Christ
and had an
address
of
64
Sixteenth
Avenue
South
.
While
today
the
church
has a
non-denominational
congregation
, its
historic
roots
still
lie
with the
Church
of
Christ
movement
of the
early
20th
century
. In the
1970s
Belmont
Avenue
Church
of
Christ
changed
its
name
to
Belmont
Church
and
dropped
all
affiliation
with the
Church
of
Christ
denomination
. The
foundation
of the
original
chapel
is
comprised
of
rough
cut
stone
blocks
and
smooth
cut
stone
capping
blocks
. The
exterior
walls
are
tan
brick
with
stone
accents
. The
roof
is
gabled
with
tar
shingles
. The
windows
are
tall
stained
glass
,
three
paned
windows
. The
entranceway
to the
chapel
features
four
brick
columns
.
Special
features
include
stained
glass
windows
. This
original
building
is
no
longer
used
for
services
, as a
new
worship
center
was
built
for this
purpose
.
Instead
the
historic
chapel
is
used
primarily
as the
church's
conference
center
and
holds
150
people
in a
movie-theatre-style
seating
arrangement
. The
center
is
equipped
with
full
A/V
capabilities
which
were
upgraded
in
2004
. The
conference
center
hosts
numerous
events
including
teaching
,
ministry
and
worship
and
is
becoming
a
popular
meeting
place
for
organizations
on
Music
Row
.
Attached
to the
rear
of the
original
chapel
, a
new
brick
building
boasts
large
clear
glass
windows
and
modern
architecture
. This
building
is
the
new
Worship
Center
where
Sunday
services
take
place
.
