The mother church of the International Church ot the Foursquare Gospel, founded by Aimee Semple McPherson. Originally, the church has a 5,300 seating capacity, well-suited for the huge crowds that the pentacostal evangelist atttracted during the denomination's early years. The concrete temple is designed in a classical style; Roman arch windows interspersed between Doric columns and a shallow dome are its most prominent features.

The church was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1992; it is located at 1100 Glendale Blvd. in Echo Park, across the street from Echo Park Lake. Photo taken in August 2007
