Confusion about this church[edit]

I edited this earlier today when I was at work researching images on ibase.sdsu.edu but didn't remember how to access this section to comment. There appears to be considerable confusion and inaccuracy about the churches/building/congregations, and after an hour and a half researching on the Internet I didn't really come to a satisfactory conclusion. I cannot vouch for the article in the UT of 1948 mentioned by the previous writer, probably cannot get it without expense if not absence from work. In ibase there are about a dozen and a half images of the church's being moved in what the later Union-Tribune article says was January 1970. I was trying to get a handle on the dates and the location. But it got so I didn't trust anything I read except the St. Philip's site, and that was not entirely helpful, didn't give the actual move date, just the dedication date at their new site. As best I can tell, St. Paul's built the building, then wanted to get rid of it to build a cathedral that is still notable in the city; the building became SDSC's college chapel for a little over 20 years (1948 to 1970); and then the building was taken apart and moved again, leaving what is now a building site (old Parking Lot O) across from the Student Union, where Trader Joe's will be next year sometime. The building was moved with all its parts (including the stained-glass windows) to the St. Philip's address in Lemon Grove (which I was able to verify on Google Maps), but the interior, including the windows, were destroyed in a fire in 1972. Exactly what the transactions were between SDSC & the Episcopal diocese I'm not sure. All transactions from the St. Paul's move to the St. Philip's move appear to have been donations, and St. Philip's got the building for the price of moving it. After the fire they restored the building, paying for stained-glass windows to replace the ones destroyed by fire, and the building is still in use. If I understand it correctly, the congregation of St. Dunstan's (was there such a thing in a college chapel?) moved to the San Carlos section. But this group was not the same as the builders (St. Paul's) or the recipients of the building (St. Philip's). The diocese site is no help, nor is the current St. Dunstan's, although the previous Wikipedia editor cited the latter site. I have no citations for this discussion other than the ones I used for the article. There is a nice photograph on the St. Philip's site, but I don't know the copyright status of it. talk) 05:29, 8 December 2015 (UTC)Arel Lucas[reply]
