As one drives through Rialto, California, you will observe a beautiful building located on the corner of North Riverside Avenue and 2nd Street. This unique building is the First Christian Church which was built in 1907 to serve as Rialto’s First Christian Church. Architect H. M. Patterson designed the church in the Late Gothic Revival style. Elements of the American Craftsman style were also included in the construction of this building. The church's has a gable roof with a corner tower and plethora of white crosses, pointed arch stained glass windows, and louvered vents. Redwood shingled roof, overhanging eaves with ornamental brackets, and decorative stickwork are just a few examples of the American Craftsmen influence. Over the years, the church deteriorated and was slated for demolition in 1964. The City of Rialto stepped in and saved this magnificent building. In the 1980 this building was obtained by the Rialto Historical Society. The museum is in the First Christian Church School, (located behind the Church) and since renamed the Kristina Hendrickson Culture Center. The museum supposedly has numerous displaces featuring artifacts from Rialto’s early history. Due to the limited operational hours (6 per week), this facility was closed to the public during my visit to the site. Wandered around the building and admired the artisanship of this exquisite old building. Will return to view the contents of the museum soon.

We had prepared to visit the Rialto Historical Society Museum. The Museum is open on Wednesday 2-4;Sat 1--2.
They didn't even answer the phone.
I found out that the museum was in a church.
The house from outside is gorgeous!
Sadly, there were no one there. We took some pictures and left.
