Moment in Time (originally submitted to ThisWeek News for publication June 23, 2004)

This 1923 photo shows the Red Crown Gasoline station, located near First Avenue and Oakland. The site is adjacent to what at the time of publication was a coin laundry and specialty market. The building behind the station was the home of the Grandview Methodist Church, which was built in 1915 and occupied by the congregation until 1951, when Trinity United Methodist Church was built at Fifth Avenue and Cambridge Boulevard.
