This exhibition will gather a rich tapestry of historical artifacts, documents, and narratives to celebrate the centennial of the Coral Gables Congregational United Church of Christ, a cornerstone of The City Beautiful. Founded in 1923 as part of George Merrick's visionary plan for Coral Gables, the church not only honored his father, Solomon Merrick's dedication to abolitionism and religious freedom but also became a vibrant community hub.
This exhibition delves into the multifaceted life of George Merrick: the artist, the entrepreneur, the visionary, and the dreamer. Personal objects, photographs, documents, and other historical material will offer visitors an in-depth exploration of our founder’s life, contributions, and enduring impact on the cultural and architectural landscape of The City Beautiful.
