1615 W. Morse Avenue - Mision Cristiana Elim

Immediately south of Mision Cristiana Elim is a parking lot along N. Ashland Avenue. This was originally intended for the main sanctuary of the previous owner, the Reform synagogue of Temple Mizpah, which I've written about here. This was never built, so the east side of the building remains exposed to the street.  

It's a bit strange, but I prefer this side of the building.  All of the loading and unloading spaces and mechanical accommodations are on full display. In many ways, it's more complex than the primary facade, constantly adapting as needed.
