George Bray Neighborhood Center

The George Bray Neighborhood Center, formerly the United Laymen Bible Student Tabernacle or Union Tabernacle, is located at 924 Center Street in the School Section neighborhood of Racine, Wisconsin.

It was built in 1927, designed by architect J. Mandor Matson, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

[1][2] Starting in 1924, members of various evangelical churches in Racine joined for inter-church Bible studies.

They called themselves the Racine Laymen's Bible Union, and they took turns meeting in different churches.

They hired an architect, and on May 15, 1927, the new building was "dedicated to the promotion of... Bible teaching and Gospel preaching, with earnest advocacy and generous support of the world-wide mission.
