Remnant of Bradford Street Meeting House in Bristol
An aged Bristol reminiscence recalls the Presbyterian Meeting House erected in 1784 and moved to a Bradford street lot in 1856, later Town Hall, burned in 1934, with vivid memories of galleries, heat stoves, and a diverse congregation. It highlights Rev. Thomas Shepard D D, his long pastorate, and the town clock once housed in the meeting house, alongside vivid archival anecdotes of daily life and local figures.
