Presbyterians To Have Fine Church In Lawrence
The new Presbyterian church at Ninth and Vermont streets in Lawrence nears completion using the old foundation as the base. The three story building will increase Sunday school rooms from fifteen to twenty four and features a street grade entrance to the classrooms, a main auditorium on the old foundation, a south side room with choir lockers, and an independently heated northwest pair for offices and the pastor’s study. A tower marks the northeast corner with the main entrance, steps and approaches now being laid. The old cornerstone, destroyed by fire March 17 1928, was replaced and laid November 11 1928. Built of thin brick with stone trim, the roof uses heavy steel construction. John P Nelson is the builder and Shimmons Brothers handle wiring and heating.
