On one side of the building passersby are told something they may have forgotten or not otherwise know: "We Are a Church." From the elevated parkway a larger sign is visible: "A United Way Agency." Lillian Taiz's study of the Salvation Army's progress in America from the 1880s through the 1920s describes the institution's rise from humble Holiness roots to become a mainstream social services provider with enormous fund-raising power.

As a "church," it soldiered on with a small corps of officers and loyal second and third-generation members. Taiz seems to be recounting a generational declension narrative, a storyline familiar to American religious historians.
