Sanctuary
Our Sanctuary was constructed in 1888 before electricity and indoor
plumbing. It has an A-frame ceiling reaching 30 feet at its highest
point with exposed wooden beams and iron bracing. The windows were
originally clear glass with the stained/painted glass windows being
installed in the 1940's. At some point, the Sanctuary was lit with
natural gas. Gas lines for two sconces which were located behind
the altar remain - now hidden by the drapery. In the 1940's, the
men of the church and the Boy Scouts hand dug a basement below the
sanctuary, installing a furnace and indoor restrooms (both since
moved to the Fellowship Hall). The sanctuary is frequently used
for theatrical productions put on by our Drama Club. Sanctuary seating
capacity is approximately 125.
Parking
Parking is available in the parking lot adjacent to and behind the church. Parallel parking is available on Foundry Street and slant-in parking is available on Baltimore Street in front of the church. Handicap parking is located on Baltimore Street. Overflow parking is available across Baltimore Street in front of the Carroll Baldwin Hall. Main entry is through the Narthex (foyer) using stairs on the right. A handicap ramp leads directly into the sanctuary and is used for both the sanctuary and the hall.
