[edit] History
The building was erected in response to the Hough Riots of 1966. At the building's dedication Major Carl B. Stokes stood in the gymnasium and stated "This building represents a part of our city that was virtually written off. It stands as a physical affirmation of the faith of The Salvation Army in our community, serving as a hub around which the process of rehabilitation can begin and develop in many lives."[1]
