    "The corner-stone of the large, massive stone structure on the southwest corner of South Main Street and the Diamond, was laid by Bishop Calvin Kingsley, June 5, 1866; and it was dedicated July 29, 1868, Bishop Mathew Simpson preaching in the morning, and the Rev. Punchon, of Ontario, Canada, at the evening service. The building was presented daring the latter service, on behalf of the congregation, by Hon. H. L. Richmond to Bishop Kingsley, who thereupon performed the ceremony of dedication. It has a seating capacity of 1,200 and cost when completed about $69,-100, and the lot $15,000, making the total expense something over $84,000."
