At that time, they worshiped with the First Universalist Church of Our Father, whose sanctuary on Cass Avenue had been built in 1916.

[3][4] The First Unitarian building was then sold in 1937 to the Church of Christ denomination.

After its remodeling during the 1936 widening of Woodward, it remained substantially as built.

The gabled façade had a great expanse of masonry; a simple four-bay porch with a shed roof and stone Romanesque columns spanning the first floor.
