2023- resurveyed as part of Milwaukee Houses of Worship thematic survey.

2017: The First Alliance Church organized in 1948 and purchased a church at N. 10th Street and W. Hadley (extant) a year later. In 1954, the congregation hired Lemke & Wolfe of Shawano, Wisconsin, to design the subject facility. A $100,000 sanctuary addition (as well as school rooms, office and kitchen) was completed in 1964. During that project, the original church was converted into a bible study room and additional church school rooms. Today, the building is home of the Holy Temple Missionary Baptist Church"
