and Is considered one Of the wealthiest
churches of the denomination.
It was founded in 1796, the first church
being built at the corner of Church and
Leonard streets in 1900. It was re-
built In 1920. The first annual confer
ence was organized In 1921, and the
church was burned down in 1880 and
again rebuilt In 1840 The Sabbath
school was organized in 1846, and In
1854 the church was moved to Tenth
and Bleecker streets. From there It
was removed in 1904 to its present site
