Stearns Church
Title
Stearns Church
Creator
Lovell, John L., 1825-1903
Description
This church building was erected in 1870-71 from designs by W.A. Potter of New York and through the generosity of William F. Stearns, who contributed the largest portion of the funds for its erection. The gable ends of the building were decorated by curious carvings emblematical of the Christian church. The spire contained a chime of eight bells presented by George Howe, of Boston, as a memorial of the College's sons who fell in the Civil War. The building, with the exception of the steeple, was razed in 1948, for the construction of the Mead Art Gallery.
