True, instead of comparing Apostolics with each other, we should be striving to edify one
another. Most of the non-doctrine issues are a matter of personal opinion and conviction anyway.
I think we all agree that the main foundation of our doctrine is Acts 2:38 as far as the method
of baptism and receiving the Holy Ghost. We all agree that there in only one God, and His name is
Jesus, and that we must all strive for perfection in this world.
The rest is stuff that is unique to each individual assembly, and has no bearing whatsoever on
whether or not you will get to heaven. While it's true that some thing are good to avoid and some
things are good to adopt, most of it is based on opinion, tradition, and conviction.

As far as I know, the building is the same that Bishop G.T. Haywood preached in. Though it has
undergone some renovations since it was built, including an elevator.
