That house has not aged well, at least to my non-professional eyes. Looks like every other 1960's house in coastal Orange County [[CA).

That was my mother-in-laws church. She was born and grew up in a home kitty corner from Roma Cafe. I believe it was torn down, along with entire neighborhoods, when the freeway was being built. The new church was built on metro parkway in Clinton Township. Absolutely, no comparison to the old. Thank you for sharing. I've never seen a photo of the original church.
