This is from a photo of the church on Flickr, so I am not positive of the authenticity of the statement, but it's the best I can find.

From 1921 to 1952 this building and the one across the street was Temple Baptist Church when J. Frank Norris was pastor. Temple moved to 10100 Grand River Ave in 1952, selling this building to King Solomon at that time.

The Information on Temple Baptist is correct to a point. Temple Baptist was still in operation as of 1954. I have news articles from that time. My father attended the church during that time period. They were building the new church on Grand River during 1954.
