Discussion Unitarian Church Commentary

"...now a landmark of early brown-shingle style.... The church's rather unorthodox appearance, possibly due to the placement of the low rounded nave on the east end of the structure caused more than one passerby to refer to the building as a 'powerhouse.'"

— Robert Bernhardi. The Buildings of Berkeley. Berkeley, 1971. p48.
