The Bible Chair building,
a trim, modernistic brick
structure, was built in 1954
at an approximate cost of
$26,000 including furnish-
ings. Funds were contri-
buted f r o m Churches of
Christ all over Southeast
Texas. The building, open
from7:30a.m. to 5:3p a.m.
conta ins an office and li-
b r a r y and a large lounge
room where students may
relax, study or play ping
pong. Classes are held in
both places.
An adjacent house and lot
with a 90 foot frontage on E.
Virginai were recently ac-
q u i r e d by the Bible Chaif
for approximately $17,000,
making a total of 150 foot
frontage for Bible Chair
property. The house event-
ually will be used as a home
for the Director, a seeming-
ly wise move since he
practically lives at the place
anyway.
