THE OLD MEETING HOUSE
THE third house of worship, now known as the "Old Meeting-House," was dedicated October 24, 1771, con- tinued in use until the dedication of the fourth and present house of worship, November 3, 1847, and was taken down in March, 1861. Its dimensions were "sixty-five feet long and forty-five feet wide, and a proportionable height," with galleries on three sides and two tiers of windows, but no steeple.
The accompanying diagram is a copy, reduced in size, of a plan of the ground floor, prepared by Ely Warner, Esq., then treasurer of the Ecclesiastical Society, when pews were first rented in 1825.

HADDAM CHURCH ANNIVERSARY
The treasurer's memoranda for 1825, and the promissory notes given by the contributors, indicate that the pews for that year were charged to or paid for by the persons named below, the total assessment of each pew being noted. The names of a few of the contributors are probably missing, inasmuch as one person occupying only part of a pew would sometimes pay the treasurer cash for the whole, and himself collect from the others, so that the treasurer made no account of the other names.
