508 Park was built in 1929 for Warner Bros.’ film vault and recording studio, where legends like Robert Johnson, Bob Wills, Gene Autry and others recorded. It’s pictured here in the mid-1930s. First Presbyterian Church has brought a new lease on life to the property, with its plans for community programs and outreach at Encore Park.
