Larger Building Needed In the early 1950s it be came evident that a larger building was needed to ac commodate the congregation and the Sunday school. Var ious plans for remodeling and for additions were pro posed and discussed but no action taken until in 1954 the church which owned adjoin ing property made an offer for the purchase of the Chris tian Science property and it was sold to them. From February, 1955, through February, 1956, Sun day and Wednesday services were held in the IOOF hall on West Sixth st. During this time the present site of the church was purchased and architect's plans were drawn and accepted. The corner-stone was laid Sept. 29, 1955, and the first services were held in the new edifice March 11, 1956. All debts and expenses were met through the gratitude and generosity of church mem bers and friends, including a grant from the Sclina C. Cor nish Fund.
