2012-11-16 - Updated through online information from Kirk Hipps. -- The church was destroyed by fire in 1965. The arsonist hated church music and he piled choir music inside the blower section of the organ chamber in the basement and lit it. He also piled hymnals under the grand piano in the sanctuary. It was the flume effect up through the pipes that carried the fire up to the rafters and cupulos that caused roof damage so extensive that the building was declared destroyed. I remember the pool of lead in the bottom of the chamber. The building was taken down in 1970. White Temple merged with Trinity Methodist and is now called First United Methodist Church of Miami. -Database Manager
