Did you know that Park Hill’s campus almost looked vastly different than it does today? Before the current mid-century modern sanctuary was built, this was the architectural proposal! A few noticeable differences include the sanctuary directly facing JKK Boulevard, the primary education building being considerably longer, and the proposed addition of a perpendicular educational wing.
The current sanctuary was turned around to sit perpendicular with JFK Boulevard to accommodate more seating. Modern for its time, the space featured no choir loft - the choir and organ sat to the left of the congregation. When a pipe organ was installed in the late 1970s, a large 3-tier loft was built on the right side of the platform.
Instead of expanding the original education building, a new wing, later named the Bill Clampitt Educational Center, was constructed, and the balcony of the old sanctuary was converted to classroom space. Fellowship Hall was converted into a parlor, and an office complex with an extensive library, two restrooms, and a conference room were built to connect the two education building wings to the new sanctuary! The solarium was also installed at that time.
