First church building, exterior photograph, c. 1920

Title

Description

Shows the church around 1920, dated by the caption of this photo in the church history books, shortly before it was torn down to make room for the new stone church. You can see the house to the left, now the church annex, as well as outlines and shadows of the back Sunday School building, which was built in 1906 and which still stands.

The street and sidewalk are now paved, and there is now a curb and formally defined grass areas. The trees that were very small in 1897 are now rather mature. The street now has electric wires, and the church also has electricity.
