Bill Gravett Rates Baptist Church
Bill Gravett bought the old Baptist church recently and began tearing it down after the congregation moved to the new church across the street in April. The building, first owned by the church, began in 1875 with a plan to cost about 8000 dollars and was dedicated in October 1877. An 1898 lecture room was added, and in 1916-17 the basement was enlarged and finished for Sunday school use with a new baptistry installed.
