The Westminster Congregational United Church of Christ is exactly what it sounds like, a mix of denominations all under the roof of a historic Spokane church building from 1891. It was started by Henry T. Cowley, who was first a missionary to the Indians, then a Spokane businessman.

Read today's Then and Now about the church.

Coming up Thursday in the North and South Voice, read about the Jamieson Substation, a tiny brick building on the edge of the Spokane Airport and what locals say should be done with it. For a variety of reasons, the airport planners want to tear it down while others want to save it. See the video about how one neighbor feels about the place.
