Nestled in the Museum District, this approximately .2-acre property was originally developed by Davis Brothers, Inc., as a single family residence in 1921. The modest vernacular Craftsman house was used as a dwelling until 1986. At that time, with the support of local Buddhists, Reverend Kenryu Tsuji purchased the property for conversion into a Buddhist temple. Reverend Tsuji, a Canadian citizen, was held in internment camps in Canada during World War II before emigrating to the United States, where he became Bishop of the Buddhist Church of America, the country’s largest Japanese-American Buddhist religious organization.
