The historic St. Matthew's Church on East 8th Street in National City has become an historic site, so it's worth a special trip to see it.  I went out this afternoon with my camera to get pictures.  The light was perfect.  The episcopal church was built on land originally set aside for a church by the Kimball brothers, but the gift of Elizur Steele made possible the first services held in the church on July 3, 1887.  Tibers for the building were brought around the Horn.  Construction for the building is of California Redwood.
