La Jolla’s Congregational Church building is an architectural gem in the Spanish mission style. It was designed by Carleton Winslow, who also designed many of the structures in Balboa Park for the 1915 San Diego World’s Fair. Though it has been updated and improved on several occasions, it has carefully maintained the integrity of its design. Among the improvements were the building of a pipe organ in 1926, and the installation of beautiful stained-glass windows in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. Read more.
