JAN. 16, 2025, OBHS “O.B.’S HISTORIC CHURCH ROW”  

Eric DuVall gave a great Ocean Beach Historical Society program on JAN. 16, 2025, about “OCEAN BEACH’S HISTORIC CHURCH ROW” at Water Edge Community Center, 1984 Sunset Cliffs Blvd., as we kicked off another year of our Free Monthly lecture series. OBHS president Eric DuVall took a look back at the development of the community center of Ocean Beach, the lovely and iconic gateway, known for over a century as Church Row.  The many churches of Ocean Beach have played a prominent role in the development of the community since OB’s earliest days, several originally holding meetings in tents on the beach!  OB’s Church Row is a rare and wonderful resource which has lasted over 100 years!
