Saving A Local Landmark


Warren Times Observer, 3/3/2012.

Excerpt:  Built in 1838 by Dr. William Irvine as a wedding gift for his wife, the church originally cost $900 to build, or just over $18,000 in today's money, and is on the National Registry of Historic Places. It's 34-foot by 26-foot interior boasts a congregation of more than 80 members and regularly seats 60 or more worshipers for services. 

Total costs for the upcoming project will be approximately $120,000 and the church congregation is utilizing a number of funding methods to obtain the sum.
