1894: PILGRIM PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH: THE EARLY YEARS

As my local history collection evolves, I find that numerous articles and/or photos can be combined to add a more detailed account of an historic event. In this case, the article on the Pilgrim Presbyterian Chapel from the Daily State Gazette was united with an old post card which has been in my collection for years. The graphic that follows this on the obit of Mr. Joseph Wright is in the same category: in that case, combining a map of the area showing the Wright family farm land with the 1894 obit of Mr. Wright.

In the event you didn't read the comment from "Mack" McNicoll, it is transcribed herewith as a valuable addition to th Pilgrim Presbyterian Church graphic above.

WOW Tom:)
I took a picture of this a few weeks ago and posted it on my blog.
Its 250 Woodland Street. Known as "Century Hall" in my day.
I spent many days sitting on these steps with friends long ago.
The building still looks to be in good shape judging from the exterior:)
I could see this place from my house long ago:)
The homes in the back of this picture are on Rusling Street.

1916: Pilgrim Presbyteriam to move to So. Broad St.

The photo included with the article was not a part of that article. It is from a postcard in my collection. The building still stands on Liberty Street and (Woodland Ave.?) If there are any Pilgrim Presbyterian visitors, please verify the above Liberty Street building as being your original edifice.
