One hundred years ago, on
November 30th of 1913, the cornerstone was laid for the stone church
building that, at that time, was just the Universalist
Church .
The Universalists first built on this corner in 1871; a brick building that was
torn down to make way for a slightly larger footprint and a more appealing
façade with the stone. The 1871 brick foundation was used again for the new
structure. It took almost a year to complete the new building, which was
dedicated in September of 1914. The cornerstone can be seen on the northeast
wall of the Children's Chapel.
Watch
for more ‘moments in history’ as we prepare to celebrate the hundredth birthday
of the stone church.
