| Questions about Somerset Methodist Church | ||
| 3200 Keystone (not pictured) | Somerset Methodist Church; became Christian Assembly in 1953, with address change to 3230 South Keystone. Current site has an auto repair shop. | DD |
| Keystone Photos | Does the corner of Bacon and Keystone differ from I-65 and Keystone, where a gas station is pictured? What or where is the vacant lot noted on Bacon and Keystone? Is this 3200 Keystone? 3230 South Keystone? | RM |

| Questions and Discussion about Laurel Street Tabernacle | ||
| 1629 Laurel Street, address listed in 1955 | Current location of Laurel Street Tabernacle; building constructed 1950. This is the one JC listed Jones and Branham at (though ad says Cadle Tabernacle.) This address may differ today because of reconfiguration of streets and addresses. Currently a Spanish-speaking congregation at Iglesia Apostólica Betesda, Indianapolis. Could we get a photo of the 1955 Laurel Street Tabernacle? | PM

| 1628 Laurel Street, address listed in 1945 | Laurel Street Tabernacle (across the street from new one constructed 1950) | PM |
| Laurel and Woodlawn | The church at Laurel and Woodlawn is not the Laurel St. Tabernacle, and never was, the Laurel Street Tabernacle | PM |
| Laurel and Woodlawn | This church is now called House of Faith, for people in recovery. “Rachel Cooper, who heads the South East Community Organization, happened to be there when I stopped in and insisted that a vacant lot a few blocks away, at Randolph and Hoyt, was the site of Jones’ first church.” | DC |
| Laurel and Prospect | There was no church at Laurel and Prospect, the newspaper article got it wrong. | PM |
| Laurel and Pleasant Run Drive South | Current location of Laurel Street Tabernacle.
Could we get a photo of this? |

| House of Faith | I could find no listing anywhere for a House of Faith in Indianapolis. Does it go by another name? | RM |
| Park and St. Claire | No identification other than that it is the Phoenix Theater.
I am going to remove this unless it has some connection to Peoples Temple |
