the tower in the front would undoubtedly |
look we'll The one with a tower in the rear |
is not desirable, and would not be thought OF
except as a shift made necessary by putting |
the front of the church on School Street; and |
bad as that idea is, we doubt whether it will !
not adj TO It's universal condemnation, to build
a tower at the rear of the church. 1t is a
matter of regret that The committees plans
contemplate a School Street front, for if it is
ulim .tey decided Oy them, against the strong
protests of many subscribers, to build the
church with lis side TO Main Street, they had
better, in advance, al least procure a plan
with front on Nam Street, thus giving that
street far chance i'll the pictures, whatever
may az last be decided about the location. In
the judgment of many who, if they know
nothing of architecture, have considerable IN
terest IN the new church, the committee will
make very grave mistake-one which they
and the people here will regret seriously when
it Is to late too remedy it by building the ed
ihce with It's handsomest face on School Street,
and they ought at least to so far respect the
objections to such a 'front.' as to obtain plan
and elevations of building fronting on the
principal street.
