In 1892, Rev. O. A. Bartholomew resigned as pastor of the First Christian Church to form the Mount Cabanne Christian Church at Kingshighway and Morgan (now Enright Avenue). In 1902, this church combined with the Central Church, whose property on Finney Avenue had been sold. They jointly used the Mount Cabanne building until 1904, when they occupied a chapel on the present site at the southwest corner of Enright Avenue and Union Boulevard. At that time, the name of Union Avenue Christian Church was adopted. Due to a depression in 1907, the church floated a bond issue to complete its new building, in an unusual method of church financing for that time. The Italian Romanesque style edifice, designed by architect Albert B. Groves, was completed in 1908. Its walls are built of alternate rows of smooth and rough cut stone. The former Mount Cabanne Church building on Kingshighway and Enright, was occupied by the United Hebrew Congregation from 1904 to 1926 and by a Greek Orthodox Church until 1955, and has since been demolished.
