TIG 1937-9-4: Gospel Hall: "Christians gathering in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, who formerly met in the Gospel Hall, Carpenter Ave., Indiana, in the rear of Troutman's Store, have vacated said premises and are now meeting on the third floor of the White Building."
There are two buildings in Indiana dedicated to the White family, one is the Catherine Brooks McConnell "Mrs. C.B.M." White building, at 653 Philadelphia St., currently housed by a restaurant. The second was the Brody's Department Store, in the Harry White Building at 699 Philadelphia St. The latter was the final location for the assembly prior to its current location.

No music or entertainment of any kind, but something far better. The GOSPEL of the grace of God (that brings joy and peace to the troubled soul) will be preached. Seats are free, and a hearty welcome." See [https://www.newspapers.com/image/539776534 TIG 1944-4-1].
