Notes

Database Manager on April 11, 2012:

Updated through online information from Ron Yeater.  -- Congregation disbanded in 1910 and sold the building to Trinity Episcopal congregation, which moved in    turn to the former Redeemer Episcopal on Euclid Ave. in 1936. The building was sold to Greater Bethlehem Baptist Church. It burned in the 1980s, destroying the Hook & Hastings organ, which may    have been electrified and otherwise altered at some point.
