1888: Our Lady of Lourdes- Immaculate Conception


Here's an article describing the soon ot be built church of Our Lady of Lourdes. Today we know it as Immaculate Conception on Chestnut Avenue in the Chambersburg section of Trenton. The estimated cost for the new building was $75,000! In old engravings of the church, there were two spires. I would assume they met the same fate as most steeples in the city churches, becoming the victims of lightning strikes.
