dc.description Color Postcard showing a photo of the Seventh Day Adventist "Dime Tabernacle" before the fire that destroyed it on January 7, 1922. Dedicated on April 20, 1879, the $26,275 cost of building the church was raised by donations of a dime a month from members. It could seat 3,200 people. The Dime Tabernacle was located on the corner of West Main (now West Michigan Avenue) and North Washington Street, facing McCamly Park. Caption on front: Seventh Day Adventist Tabernacle, Battle Creek, Mich. Written on back: (2) Baby is real good. Nurse knows how to take care of him probably. Mabel was much pleased with your cards. We haven't heard from home yet. I am getting more beautiful every day. I have so much time to take care of myself. Haven't any of my sewing done - not even my picnic dress mended. Hope I can get to Galesburg tomorrow to get some stamps so I can send this. Write often. Lots of love [illegible] en_US
