As can be seen in the 1875 photograph, a great change took place in the architecture of the 1803 building. A bell for the spire was bought in 1825 by popular subscription. About 1865, an organ was presented by Mr. Henry Morris, who also is said to have given the beautiful chandelier, prior to the 200th anniversary. In 1868-69, a large Sunday School addition was constructed in the rear of the sanctuary. Sometime during the tenure of the Rev. McNulty, 1874-1906, the exterior of the church changed from a plain, simple, sturdy, white and functional expression of the character of its worshipers to a more ornate Victorian style, complete with large soffits, new roof structure, stained glass windows, and a vestibule in the front. As Mr. McNulty put it, "Its remodeled beauty is also suggestive of the beauties of holiness by which its present worshipers are distinguished." |
