Indiana Gospel Hall, PA

Indiana Gospel Hall is an open brethren assembly located 46 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, also included in its CSA. It was started in 1910 in the home of Lott Frederick (1870-1947) and his wife Maggie Kessler Frederick (1872-1930) at 1164 Philadelphia Street, which today is near the First Commonwealth Bank Drive-Up.

By 1912, it had moved to 526 on the same street, which is between the American Legion and the Heartstar House Wellness Center, then in 1913 to the "Cement Block Building" near the Frederick home. From 1917-1938, they rented various spaces including from +1920-1927+ at 562 Philadelphia, in the building where naturalist & jeweler Richard White Wehrle (1852-1937), functioned as an optometrist.

In 1927, the USCoRB indicated that there were 30 in fellowship (14 men, 16 women) including 6 S.S. teachers presiding over 30 children (for a total of 60). The Hall was reported as a rented facility (with $355 in annual expenses, less than $6k today). $255 (over $4k today) was additionally donated towards the Lord's work. In 1934, the assembly met on Carpenter Ave., at the rear of Troutman's Store.

In 1938, they constructed their present location. See IGH's website.
