deviated from their first plan of erecting q
church for occupancy by the first of July.
They have now settled upon the plan of
church. Contracts are let for material and
work.
The new plan is the production of Mr..
Joseph II. BoswoIth ana it is something
entirely new for church. will endeavor
to describe 1t as nearly as possible. The
material is of brick. The auditorium will
be 40x54 feet, 90 feet high, finished to the
ridge; tower, 115 feet high; centre aisle.
feet side aisles, % feet wide seats Z
feet long, each seat occupyi ing SO inches;
the desk in the rear orchestra right of
desk, elevated 10 inches; there will be So
seats; the auditorium will comfortably seat
200 seats and finish of church will be of
chestnut, black walnut trimmings the ves-
tbule In front can be entered by two doors,
one under the tower, the other at the
opposite corner, wnnowe, on pivots, no
eaeh to stick in warm or wet weather. At
the rear OF the auditorium there is to be
trsnsept 30x54. Upon the first floor the
will be lecture room 28x38; class room,
12xl6, and library room. On the second
floor will be parlor 25x3S, infant Sabbath
school room 12x16, and cloak room.
The partition between the auditorium
and rooms Of the transept will be of
ground glass, so arranged that they eau be
removed and the whole building thrown
into one audience room, capable of seat
Ing an audience Of 800. When the rooms
are opened as one, tine pulpit will be nearly
in the centre of the audience. There will
be no frescoing. The walls will be
tinted to correspond with the finish.
1t 10 intended 10 have nothing in the church
that shall draw the minds of the audience
from the thoughts that should occupy their
minds in the house Of God.
This design adds another laurel to the
reputation of Mr.. Bosworth as an architect,
as he commenced this draft his motto
seemed to be "multum in parvo" and nobly
has he accomplished his work. AS church
architect he has no superior, and few equals
as a general architect. The Methodist
church has some members who are wealthy
and are determined to have a splendid
church, the pastor, Rev. g. NJ. Clark, Sc
conds every movement that looks towards
the permanency of the Methodist church IN
Fair Haven. The stone work, brick work
and pastering is ct to M. O'Brien, the
wood work to j. II. Bosworth-a church
will be built in Fair Haven by Fair Haven
mechanics. Some of the church are in
hopes OF having Bishop Peck here to lay
the corner stone, it would be very appro-
L.
G. A. assisted IN founding this church.
If the parent design is fully carried out,
the Methodist society of Fair Haven will
have the most complete church in the state
at a small cost. The old church of this
society was an i'll constructed, uncomfort-
able thing, the society think they should
now have q comfortable house TO worship
in. AS yet no contract has been made for
an organ, which will be placed in the
church that the congregation may have
the benefit of it, not put in a niche where
the organist and pumper can alone enjoy
it in that place. A 90 stop Hook organ
would be of sufficient capacity. 9.
