The Courant reported that the chapel had been completed and that on March 11 seats in the chapel would be rented for one year.

 

Designs for the church were completed by September 26, 1864.

  1. The seats in the chapel were rented on March 11, 1865.
  2. The dedicatory service took place in the chapel on March 12, 1865.

The article also listed that the sale of slips in the Pearl Street Church was scheduled to take place on March 6 – the Pearl Street Church is part of the future Immanuel Congregational Church at Woodland and Farmington.

“A petition is in circulation, numerously signed, for a car on the western branch of the horse railroad on Sundays, to accommodate church goers.  The people in the west part of the city desire such a convenience as well as those living on the main line.”

Asylum Hill was Hartford’s “west end” in 1865.
