in 1844 on Central Street Used
for 26 years, the Central Street
edifice was replaced in 1870 At
that time it was decided to build
again, this time on Main Street,
on the corner of Pleasant and
Main.
In t h e winter o f 1875 fire

most of the west side of the

Question Do y o u think that

Immediately
following the
great fire, another new church
was raised Within 13 months it
was rebuilt on the same site as
the church that
had been
burned. Dedication services were
held in March, 1876.
"If I call them, they always
come. I think they do a good
job, myself."
.The present c h u r c h is that
building erected nearly o n e
hundred years ago. During all
those nearly o n e h u n d r e d years
the First Congregational Church
