Overview

This second church for the Grace Protestant Episcopal congregation opened in 1871, built at a total cost of $26,000, not including the cost of the land. The congregation could not afford the $10,000 mortgage debt on this new building, and it went bankrupt in 1877. Parishioners pooled their money and repurchased the church from the Odd Fellows' Bank that year, and reorganized the congregation under the name Saint Paul's. It held its first service in this new facility on 03/23/1877. It served as Saint Paul's from 1877 until it was destroyed in a storm during the 1880s or 1890s. It was replaced by a stout all-stone facility located on the corner of J and 15th Streets.
