LANDMARK TO BE RAISED One of Speedway’s early landmarks, the original frame building of the Speedway Christian Church, and also the first church building in the town, will be tom down beginning May 9th to make room for the new educational unit. The building will be used for the last time on Sunday, May Ist. It gained fame throughout the entire country as, “the church built in a day.” The first Sunday School had been started in 1917 in an abandoned red schoolhouse on 10th Street, by Mrs. Ida Marvel and Rev. Willis Cunningham. After several years of Sunday School and preaching services in the schoolhouse, a tabernacle was erected at 14th and Main Sts., where revival services were held under leadership of V. P. Brock. On August 30th, 1926 plans were made to erect the first church building in Speedway. Under the guidance of prominent laymen from various Christian Churches in Indianapolis, ground breaking services were held on the present location at 14th and Winton, and excavation of the basement was begun on September 6th, 1926. Rev. H. A. Davis had been the minister for about 2 years,

Following completion of the basement, on Saturday, September 18th, 100 volunteers from all the Christian Churches of the County, came together to erect the present building over the basement. Ten squads of workmen under the direction of ten superintendents of construction, began the unusual feat of building the entire building in that one day. By nightfall Saturday evening, the prime coat of paint had been applied to exterior of the building, the interior finish had a coat of stain applied, the lighting fixtures, seats, and other items had been installed, and dedication services were held the next day, Sunday, September 19,1926.
