Edifice is situated on the corner of Wyllys and Hendricxsen aveunes. It was erected by Mrs. Samuel Colt as a memorial to her de- ceased husband and children and was conse- crated to the worship of Almighty God, Jan. 28th, 1869. It is built in the Gothic style, of Portland hewn stone finished with Ohio white stone, and is 114 by 47 feet, with a height of 60 feet, and a spire 150 feet high. Fronting to the North is the Sunday School room, forming a transept to the main building, and is entered through a porch and door at its north-west corner. The entrance to the Bap- tistery is on the south side of the chancel, near its junction with the Nave. At the south- west corner is the principal entrance to the church. It is a stone porch with pointed roof. In the western front is the much admired large memorial window. The building has a series of richly stained glass windows. The roof is covered with red and blue slates, arranged in patterns. The completeness of the work and the beauty of finish everywhere, demand per- sonal observation to be appreciated. Cost about $200,000. Sittings free. There is a chime of nine bells in the tower of this edi- fice. Services 10.30 A. M., and 7.45 P. M.
