St Matthew Church History and 196 Consolidation
The Free Church of St Matthew on Throop Avenue and Pulaski Street became St Matthew's Protestant Episcopal Church. A new building drive raised 225,000 toward a 3,000 fund after old-property value, but protests from neighboring parishes blocked progress. In 196 it consolidated with the Church of the Epiphany, paid Rev Dean Richmond Babbitt 5,500, settled Epiphany debt, remodelled at 20,000, bought a rectory for Rev Fr W Norris, and emerged free of financial burdens.
