Baptist Temple

So, there's this building right next to the Liberty Pole which used to be the Baptist Temple. This was built in like 1925 I believe. It was home of the Second Baptist Church. I wonder what kind of Baptist history the city of Rochester and Monroe County have. This building had/has an auditorium with 1400 seats. (You see, I'm at the Library right now while my kids are looking at books, and I was just doing strange searches and I came across it.) I also wonder what that building is used for now. It was sold off in the 60's when that church decided it wasn't working trying to run a 14 story office building.

Anyway, I wonder if First Bible should have just looked at purchasing that building. I wonder if it would have been cheaper than their new building!
