Downtown Camas church being demolished to make way for mixed-use compex

Demolition of the historic Camas First Christian Church at the corner of Northeast Cedar Street and Northeast Sixth Avenue in downtown Camas started this week. 

According to the Northwest College of the Bible, the unique hexagonal church — located across from the Squeeze and Grind cafe at 404 N.E. Sixth Ave., in Camas — was built in 1912 and started with a congregation of just 15 people.
