Description: Bethlehem Baptist Church, 4901 Compton Avenue, Los Angles, California. Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #968. Built in 1944 and located in South Los Angeles, this is the only built church designed by the master architect R.M. Schindler. The Modernist church features horizontal bands of stucco, an L-shaped floor plan, and an open cruciform tower, all arranged in a layered de Stijl pattern meant to attract the attention of passing cars. The building was created for a small African-American congregation, serving as a church and community center; it has been vacant for the past several years.
