CollectionWeber Photo Collection of the Neighborhood ChurchDateca 1970DescriptionImage shows detailed view of the stained glass skylight in the narthex at the Neighborhood Church located at 415 Paseo Del Mar, Palos Verdes Estates. Designed by architect Armand Monaco, the one-story Italianate villa was built originally as a summer residence for businessman John Joseph Haggarty in 1928. The property passed through several owners including Harry Wheeler, who purchased the estate to house his art collection. The property was purchased in 1950 by the United Church of Christ and became the permanent home of the Neighborhood Church in 1953. The skylight was original to the Haggarty residence. Converting the mansion into a church took eighteen months to complete and included expanding the living room to become the sanctuary, pulpit and choir areas and remodeling the garages, bedrooms and kitchen for use as a Sunday school.Photo Size7.25 x 9.25 in.Photo Format1 photographic print (b/w)Held ByPalos Verdes Library District.
