Description	Looking east across S. Normandie Avenue towards Wilshire Christian Church, showing the large rose window designed by Judson Studios. Located at 634 S. Normandie Avenue, the church is a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument with a long history: After land was donated by Charles Chapman in 1911, a small bungalow style church was built at this corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Normandie Avenue. In 1927 the original church was replaced with this Northern Italian Romanesque style structure with a 200-foot tower, designed by Robert H. Orr. On May 19, 1940, First Christian Church of Los Angeles merged with Wilshire Boulevard Christian Church to become Wilshire Christian Church, which is of the Disciples of Christ denomination.
