See my Schindler research at SCHINDLER INDEX

The Open House for Schindler’s Bethlehem Baptist Church was held two days ago. I had a great time talking about the building with all the Schindler fans who came. I wish I had had more time to talk to everyone.

Attached is the flyer I prepared for the event. You can download it as a pdf by clicking on the image.

Many thanks and the longest distance traveled award goes to Robert and Wendy of Austin, Texas who came out specifically to see the Church. His wonderful description of the event, with lots of great pictures, is on his blog here.

And extra, extra special thanks to my patient copy editor, Lisa Rini, for her invaluable help with the handout. I couldn’t do it without her!

Here are more pictures of the Open House, thanks to architectural historian John Crosse. Check out his Southern California Architectural History website, it’s great.

Curbed LA ran two great articles on the Church. The first was an announcement about the Open House, the second is a photo tour of the Church. Photos for both articles were taken by Elizabeth Daniels Photography.

Los Angeles Magazine had a very nice article about the Church and the Open House.

KCET ran an article on the Open House on their artbound blog.
