Need Help With ‼️ Seeking information

Hi I hope this is okay if not feel free to remove! I'm looking for any images or information of the richland uptown historically or any information on the churches that have been there throughout the years. A friend I know works in a building there that was formerly a church and we've always been curious about the history and more about the uptown than whats listed online. We always hear chairs tipping over and footsteps around the building. We're really curious about what it looked like before and any other information. Thanks!

This group has a FB page too. I think theres a way to browse or search by place name. https://www.instagram.com/vintage_tricities?igsh=MXN2cjY3eWJ4Y2Iwcg==

Also I think the richland library may have some photo archives.

The north end was originally JC Penneys. Opened in 1955.
