• I'm not sure where this church was located. Perhaps near the Dave's Amoco/BP gas station?

• This is the First Congregational Church at the southwest corner of Hancock and Tezcuco Streets that was dedicated in 1870. It burned down on March 7, 1917. The previous First Congregational Church, at the same site, burned down on April 11, 1869. See MS042-017-261-035 and -036 for additional views.
