a. Flanking towers and a triple-arched entry give this traditional church
building a commanding presence despite its relatively small size. This
building's Gothic Revival design is the only surviving example of the
style in Overtown, the center of Miami's historic African-American community.
One of Miami's oldest black congregations began building the church after
World War II, and the building was officially dedicated in 1965. The church
is now known as the House of God, Nazarene.
