1943 First Church of Christ Scientist Coral Gables FL Postcard

Printed in 1943, this vintage linen postcard features the First Church of Christ, Scientist in Coral Gables, Florida, an elegant structure reflecting the city’s signature Mediterranean Revival style.

Founded in the 1920s during Coral Gables’ carefully planned development, the church stood as a symbol of serenity and spiritual grace in a city known for its beauty and order. By the 1940s, Coral Gables had matured into one of South Florida’s most refined communities, and this church, with its clean lines and lush surroundings, offered a peaceful retreat during the uncertain days of World War II.
