Demolition of Parish House, 1961
Old Stone Church's Parish House and chapel, which was constructed around 1890, were razed as part of the congregation's "Forward March" campaign in 1961. The $1,250,000 new Parish Hall included a chapel for children, a large chapel, a 700 person dining hall, and church offices. The new structure allocated spaces for outreach programs and public ministry in an effort to combat the many economic and social problems that the city experienced because of suburbanization.
