"A place where documents, old and new, tell us who we are --
a community of believers trying to serve God in countless ways."

Dr. Umphrey Lee, Pastor
1923-1936

Shortly after the completion of Highland Park's first permanent church building in 1926, Dr. Lee selected a few photographs of the new building and had them mounted in leather bound albums. He presented these as a 'thank you' gift to various church leaders, and to architects Roscoe DeWitt and Mark Lemmon. This note was inscribed on the flyleaf of the album presented to Roscoe DeWitt. Despite the fragile condition of the leather and the old yellowed pages of the album, we feel Dr. Lee's sense of awe in building a 'House of God.'
