From the Getty Museum record
Exterior view of The Light House Gospel Church. The brick and cinder block building features a large cross made of glass blocks tilted at an angle, so it appears to be leaning on its side. Two smaller, upright crosses made of glass blocks adorn the building on both sides. A painted sign hanging above the center cross reads, "The Light House Gospel M.B. Church, Rev. Bernce Johnson, Founder & Pastor".
