Proposition for Two Parishes to
Unite and Build Edifice Large
Enough for Both in Central
East Portland Considered.
In connection -with the progress of the
Hawthorne Park and Third Presbyterian
Churches, within the next two years it is
predicted both must seek new locations
and rebuild on larger lines, or the two
churches must come together and erect a
modern 1100,000 edifice that will be the
leading Presbyterian Church on the East
Side.
When the Hawthorne-Park Presby
terian Church was erected, on East
Twelfth and East Taylor streets, it was
part of the Cumberland Presbyterian
branch, which was merged Into the
Presbyterian Church. The growth of
this church in membership has been re
markable. Every Sunday, and especial
ly Sunday night, the auditorium is
packed to its utmost capacity, and can
hardly accommodate the congregations.
This is more noticeatble at present
than ever before. .
Rev. E. Nelson Allen, the pastor, who
recently returned from his trip to the
Holy Land, delivers lectures Sunday
night which draw large congregations,
but the normal congregations and mem-
bershlp already tax the capacity of the
church.- More room is needed, aad pro
vision will be made for the worship
ers In the basement. It is felt, how
ever, that the time is near at hand
when Hawthorne-Park Presbyterian
Church must find another location a
little farther out and to the south of
the present zone, showing tremendous
residence growth there. Dr. . Allen said
last week it looked now as if some
movement would have to be made soon,
if the present prosperity of the church
continues, and there is every reason to
believe it will. Since Dr. Allen has
.been pastor, the membership has more
than doubled, and new members are
coming in almost at every Sunday serv
ice. The Third Presbyterian Church, the
pioneer Presbyterian Church on the
East Side, now more than 25 years old,
also aspires to be the leadiny Pres
byterian Church in Central East Port-'
land. On the present location it has
atood a little over seven years. Under
the leadership of Rev. Andrew J. Mont
gomery it has made excellent progress
and is considered one of the strongest
churches in the presbytery.
Conditions are changing rapidly all
around this church. The homes of the
people are rapidly being replaced by
flats, apartments and business houses,
and the homebulldlng area is being
crowded farther eastward. It is con
sidered a mere question of time when
it will be forced to move back to reach
the homebuilders and get out of the
section' that will be devoted to apart
ment and business houses.
The consolidation of the two churches
is perhaps a remote consummation, but
the matter has been considered, al
though not officially. However, those
who have studied the question express
the opinion that the two churches could
consolidate and erect at some central
point in East Portland a stone building
that would cost about (100.000, ' and
which would seat a congregation of
2000 or 8000 people. Changing condi
tions between the Willamette Rivir and
East Twentieth street point to this, but
it may not come, and the two churches
may rebuild Independently of each oth
er on new locations farther back In
the residence area.
CONTRACTS ARE GIVEN
ST. JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL AT VAX-
COUVER, FIXE BUILDING.
Work Has Xovr Started, and $150,.
000 Structure Will Be Sanitary
and Modern In Detail.
The general contract for erecting the
brick, stone and concrete hospital build
ing for the Vancouver Branch of the
Sisters of Charity of the House of Provi
dence was awarded this week to Moore
A Hardin, general contractors of Van
couver, who will commence work on the
structure at once. The bid of Moore &
Hardin was 1111,000 and the contract calls
for the work to be completed In 200 work
ing days. The contract price does not
' Include the elevators, heating, wiring or
plumbing, which will bring the total cost
to 150.W.
The new hospital building was designed
and planned by Architect Berndt &
Tesen and the point kept In view was to
afford the patients and other occupants
all the light, sunshine, ventilation and
other conveniences possible. The design
is essentially dignified and sturdy and is
founded somewhat upon the modern Eng
, llsh work. In the competition for the
selection of the architects the award to
Berndt A Tegen was made on a basis of
superiority of design. The plan was
studied by the architects In the light of
the defects in older hospital buildings
and the experience and needs of' the
chiefs of the various departmenta were
given primary consideration.
A special feature of the plan is that
every bedroom and ward, together with
all the other sleeping rooms, will receive
direct sunshine some part of the day.
The building has a frontage of 160 feet,
with a width of 4S feet and a central
wing projecting 72x35 feet. It contains
DO.uOO cubic feet of space and will cost
approximately 1150.000. The lowest floor
is on the finish-grade level, while the
highest point on the roof is .72 feet above
this point.
Concrete Is used for all the work below
the grade line, while the lavatory,
kitchen and solarll floors will be of re
inforced concrete. The walls are built
principally of vitrified brick in different
shades of browns and reds, while large
use Is also made of cut stone. All the
band courses, plinths, sills and main en
trance doorway are of cut stone. The
main entablature will also be of . cut
stone.
The interior will practically be free
from wooden trim, all door, window and
other openings being . finished in hard
cement plaster. The doors leading to all
rooms, wards, etc, are veneered and free
from panels. There will be electric light
, lng throughout the building and the plans
Include the installing of a high pressure
steam system with underground tunnels,
so as to heat not only the new hospital
but the old hospital, the Old People's
Home, the Academy and the Catholic
Cathedral.
