| The main building was
fifty-three feet long and thirty-six feet wide. Behind it, the
church extended for an area fifteen feet square. This
section included a small sacristy on the first floor and a
room above, reached by a flight of stairs in back of the
church, which was used as living quarters by the pastor.
Both rooms were surmounted by a small steeple. The
outline of the original sacristy is still visible today and is
identified at the base, and by the window areas, which have
been bricked in. The architectural style was Georgian
and in the customary early American technique the brick arches
were hand rubbed to present a different texture from the
surrounding brick walls.
The height of the church was
twenty-five feet at the sides, with a shingle roof rising to a
height of forty feet at the peak. There were four windows
along each side of the church and a large window in the front
above the main entrance. The interior roof was supported
by three pairs of columns ranged down the spine of the
building. There was no center aisle, and the main body
of pews extended back from the altar rail. Two side
aisles served as entrances to the two sections of pews along
the side walls. The main body of the church was
separated from the sanctuary by a wooden altar rail that ran
the full width of the building. A small altar with a
statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary stood in the sanctuary
between the gospel side of the altar and the side wall. |
