In Recognition of the Centennial of Our Building

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.
