City Presbyterian Church
City Presbyterian Church (originally Park Congregational Church and later Pilgrim Congregational Church) is the name of a church located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States. The current congregation has no direct connection to the one which originally occupied the building. The building sits on a lot bound by 13th Street and Classen Drive, and therefore has two different street addresses. The "front" (main entrance) of the church is at 1433 Classen Drive, but the address address listed on church literature and used for mail delivery is 829 NW 13th Street. The congregation, which informally calls itself "City Pres," is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in America.〔("Our Story" ), City Presbyterian Church (accessed 2014-11-20)〕
==Building history==
Originally called Park Congregational Church, the church was designed by the Oklahoma City architectural firm Hawk & Parr and built in 1920, of red brick and limestone in Late Gothic Revival style. The name of the congregation was changed to Pilgrim Congregational Church soon after, and the building was known as Pilgrim Congregational Church for most of its history.
During its heyday the church was the place of worship for many of Oklahoma City's civic leaders, including ''The Oklahomans publisher E.K. Gaylord.〔Richard Mize, ("Oklahoma City's historic Pilgrim Congregational Church house goes on the block" ), ''The Oklahoman'', June 18, 2011.〕 From 1924 to 1935 the church was led by Frank Milton Sheldon, who wrote a number of religious texts, later became the minister at Milwaukee's NRHP-listed Grand Avenue Congregational Church, and was described by the ''Milwaukee Journal'' as "one of America's best known ministers".〔("Hail Doctor Sheldon in Pulpit Here" ), ''Milwaukee Journal'', April 15, 1935.〕〔("Rev. Sheldon Dead: Served Church Here" ), ''Milwaukee Journal'', May 22, 1956.〕
The congregation was later absorbed into Oklahoma City's Mayflower Community Church, a member of the United Church of Christ,〔 and sold the property to a local architect in the late 1970s. The architect used part of the property for offices while renting out the main worship space for religious functions, then attempted unsuccessfully to convert part of the space to residential use before selling it in 1989. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984,〔(National Register listings for Oklahoma County ) (accessed June 18, 2011),〕 but fell into disrepair under subsequent ownership.〔Janice Francis-Smith, ("Doctors redevelop church into health and wellness center" ), ''The Journal Record'', January 27, 2003.〕 In 2000 the building was purchased by a pair of doctors, who later announced plans to convert it into a health spa.〔 They added an indoor swimming pool and other facilities, but the spa project was unsuccessful. The building was offered for sale by auction in June 2011,〔 but failed to sell.〔Richard Mize, ("Former Pilgrim Congregational Church in Oklahoma City fails to sell at auction" ), ''The Oklahoman'', June 28, 2011.〕
