Erected Church on Front Street in 1839 and Burned Angel Bell
In 1839 a Universalist church was built on Front street on a 50 by 65 foot lot after conveyance from William King to listed trustees. A notable spire bore an angel weather vane, prompting the shoes debate. The church moved in 1860 to Washington street. the old Front street site became Bank row, with the Angel bell later moving to Bath city hall and Davenport Memorial City hall. The O’Neil family and later Bath National Bank shaped the surrounding blocks until the bank built a new structure in the early 20th century. The article notes the ongoing history and property transfers.
