Asylum Hill Congregational Church closes for repairs

The steeple of the church was completed around August 25, 1875.

The Courant would publish an update on this work on September 5, 1890.

1. July 5, 1890 was a Saturday, so the first service that would be affected by the repairs would be on the next day, July 6, 1890.
2. This announcement marked the beginning of work on the interior decorations in the church.
