From the November 2, 1980 Service of Dedication booklet (for the Richard Strauss organ): "The First Baptist Church of Ithaca, NY has been housed in three buildings on the same DeWitt Park location. The first building was erected in 1831, ten years after the church was formed and four years after the DeWitt Park site was purchased. It was built at an approximate cost of $7000 and destroyed by fire in 1854.
The second building was completed in 1855 at an approximate cost of $10,000. It served the church's needs until the late 1880's when the church chose to replace it with the present structure. Up to this period, the church was called Park Baptist Church.
The present building was designed by William Henry Miller. It was built in 1890 at an approximate cost of $31,000. The sanctuary chancel was remodeled and refurnished with a new [Austin] organ built in 1932[1931?].
