"Bell Tower"

Item DSC_3916. First Presbyterian Church was organized August 1, 1821 and immediately became a member of Concord Presbytery. The second church, built on the site of the first church, was completed in the fall of 1892; its tower, known as the Bell Tower, was preserved when the church was torn down in 1971. Architect for the building was Charles W. Bolton of Philadelphia who incorporated some of the materials from the original church; the church was cited as an outstanding example of Romanesque Revival style.
