Turner Memorial puts the building up for sale.
By 2002, most of Turner Memorial’s growing congregation had moved to Prince George’s County, Maryland. After fifty-two years on the corner of 6th and I Streets, NW, Turner moved in 2003 to more spacious quarters closer to its congregants in Hyattsville, Maryland, bringing with them the following items:
One grand piano, one organ, 400 hymnals, 400 bibles, 15 ministerial robes, 10 computers, 10 desks, two candelabra, one communion table, one baptismal font, one public address system, one stereo, one drum set, two rehearsal pianos, three copying machines, 40 file cabinets, 10 microphones, 1,000 chairs, 10 coffee urns, one deep-fryer, one ice maker, one industrial-size refrigerator, one American flag, one AME flag, one spotlight, dozens of desks and banquet tables, hundreds of pieces of artwork, and the letters used for the front yard sign.
