Grandview Methodist Episcopal Church History Collection
This digital collection is a sample of items from the physical collection of the Grandview Methodist Episcopal Church History Collection. It presents several items of church history from 1923 to 1929, including a series of correspondence between the Denver Church Extension Society and others concerning a time in 1929 when the church building, then located at 44th Avenue and Irving Street in Denver, Colorado, was almost lost due to foreclosure. In the end, the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia authorized a grant of $3,000 from the revolving fund loan to pay Grandview's debts. This collection was digitized by Baylee Suskin whose work has been graciously funded by the Mountain Sky Archives and History Commission.
