It was a converted garage: this was the Southside Gospel Tabernacle: his first building before his church grew in size (1928-1940); and they moved into the bigger auditorium nearby. I had a relative in Chicago, who when I was a boy, had those ice cube style windows in his bathroom.
This was the bigger Southside Alliance Church building that was built next door as an add-on to the old building. This was when Dr. Tozer became a household name through the publication of his books (1941-1959). He published The Pursuit of God in 1948.
Dr. Tozer’s church buildings still stand to this day. You can find them on Google Maps! 714 W. 70th St., Chicago, Illinois 60621 marks the location of the old building. It is now the property of a Zion Temple Missionary Baptist Church, a black denomination. Tozer’s new building is owned by the same congregation: the address, just around the corner, is 7010 S. Union Ave, Chicago, IL 60621.
