Contemporary Art Center
Originally built in 1926, McColl Center for Visual Art is located in a former ARP church. Between 1927 and 1950 the church was one of the city's most active with some 500 members. Due to several factors, including the decline of the Center City and post-war growth of suburban areas, the church's membership dissolved in the 1950's. The building was sold in 1981 and stood empty for many years.
On November 14, 1985, an accidental fire heavily damaged the structure. For many years the burned out shell stood as a reminder of an earlier era.
McColl Center for Visual Art opened to the public and launched its new programs in September of 1999.
