...William Kelly had this church built for his wife, Eliza Lee Owen, in 1894. The Kelley family had already started a small church which became the Presbyterian church in 1868. Eliza was Baptist and wanted a church of her own faith where she could play the organ, “This is my Baptist Church in Mendocino, one my husband built with good faith. Eventually the Baptist church was reopened as a gift shop called Personal Expressions. Corners of the Mouth had opened in 1975 just down the street in the Kelliowen building. In 1976 the businesses switched places and Corners has filled the church ever since.
