Haven of Rest Radio Ministry, church headquarters and broadcast studio, 1939-1940.
The Haven of Rest Quartet (a.k.a. the Crew of the Good Ship Grace) began in 1934 as the musical arm of the Haven of Rest radio broadcast ministry.
Radio as a medium was still in its infancy, and Christian broadcasting was new, uncharted territory. The Haven of Rest program, so titled after the old gospel hymn, and replete with nautical references, was broadcast live Mondays through Fridays, originally from the studio of pioneering radio station KFI in Los Angeles.
As the broadcast became better known, it began being aired over a larger and larger network of radio stations in the US and Canada from its own distinctive ship-like studio here in Silver Lake, complete with portholes and decks. The Haven Quartet would sing four or five songs live over the air during each day's broadcast, either a cappella or with organ accompaniment.
