- View of the former home of the West Hunter Street Baptist Church congregation at 775 Hunter Street (now Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard) west of downtown Atlanta, Georgia.
In 1973, the West Hunter Street Baptist Church congregation moved from its stone building at 775 Hunter Street NW (now Martin Luther King Jr. Drive) to the former Gordon Street Baptist Church, a brick building at 1040 Gordon Street SW (now Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard). Reverend Ralph David Abernathy served as pastor of the West Hunter Street Baptist Church congregation from 1961 to 1990 and led the effort to acquire the church building on Gordon Street in the 1970s. - Local Identifier:
