From First Church History page:
"In 1871, active efforts were made to build a new church. On March 30, 1873 when the building was completed at a contract price of $18,000.00, dedicatory services were held. The style of the church was semi-gothic, with a tower and spire on the southeast corner. The spire rose to a height of 132 feet. In the winter of 1876 a church bell was set up into the high tower. In the spring of 1878 a fine pipe organ was built into the south gallery. On March 21, 1895 First Church was partially destroyed by fire. The work of reconstruction was immediately and vigorously undertaken and in December of that year, it was ready for occupancy. A renovation program was undertaken in 1919, which made it the beautiful place of worship which delighted people for the next 27 years."
