THE SUNDAY SCHOOL ROOM

"The new church will be an imposing edifice and an ornament to the section where it is being erected. It is planned in a mixed Gothic and Roman style, and is to be surmounted by a tall steeple. The foundation will be of blue stone, and the exterior of Trenton pressed brick, trimmed with Berlin (Ohio) stone. The audience room is of amphitheatrical design, 60x60 feet, with a seating capacity for 600 persons. There will be four broad aisles, two vestibules at the front and one in the rear. The baptistry is to be semi-circular in form, similar to that of the First Baptist Church in Pierrepont street. In the rear of the platform are four spacious dressing rooms. The choir gallery will be placed directly over the pulpit. The plan contemplates the introduction of a gallery at the rear for worshipers, but this will not be built at present. The interior is to be finished in ash and cherry woods.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL ROOM

"The easterly wing of the edifice is to be divided into spacious class, Sunday School and lecture rooms. At the front are two class rooms. These communicate by folding doors with the main lecture and Sunday School room, which is 80x30 feet. In the rear of the lecture room are other class rooms and the church parlors. The lecture room room will seat 400 persons. It will open into the church by folding glass doors. The congregation expect to occupy this portion of the edifice by September 1."

The completed church was dedicated on Sunday evening, December 28, 1880. It would seem that the planned steeple was never built.
