The Episcopal congregation formed in 1844 and constructed a building on East Main shortly thereafter. Used as a hospital during the Civil War it was eventually torn down by soldiers who salvaged the brick to build chimneys in their tents. Another structure was built on College Street by 1867, and the present church at State and Twelfth streets was erected in 1912 of Warren County limestone.   Home l Early History l Agriculture l Business l Industry l Education l Health and Medicine l Recreation l Religion l Transportation l War l Timeline l Map l Sponsors   Updated December 15, 2000 Created by Donna Parker with contribution from Sandy Staebell, Laura Harper Lee, Lynne Ferguson and Jon Kay.
