Dedicated on August 12, 1855, the present Old Stone Church structure was built in response to the congregation's growth, as well as their desire for a more modern and elegant edifice. Headed by the architectural firm of Heard and Porter, designs for the church incorporated Romanesque Revival elements. Popular in the United States during the second half of the nineteenth century, the style is characterized in part by steeples of unequal height and semi-circular arches above windows and door opening. Constructed of Berea sandstone, materials for the church walls were primarily quarried in Carlisle Township. At a final cost of $60,000, Old Stone Church was the most expensive, imposing, and beautiful structure on the Public Square at the time of its completion. | Date: ca. 1925-28 | Source: Cleveland Parks Department Photograph Albums, Volume 3 , Cleveland Public LibraryDownload Original File
