The former King’s Palace was just that. Closed in 1965, the King’s has long since been converted to a church.

Here is a February 2008 (not very flattering) evening photo of this magnificent structure.

Out of curiosity, I went inside the building this past Sunday. All of the interior decor has been removed from the auditorium — just fluorescent lighting and cinder block walls now. The congregation of the church was very gracious and welcoming.
