| The plan that emerged as contracts for construction were being secured in April 1903: 1. The architecture • Brownstone on front (south) and east sides • Style: modified early English • 66’ x 64’, the south side being the long side • North line a continuation of the church • 20’ from lot line on east, 12’ from lot line on north. 2. The plans for the parish house included • A main door that would serve as entry to both the new parish house and the existing chapel • A parlor or office for the pastor on the first floor, just inside the entrance • Two large rooms with a smaller room in between, separated by sliding doors that would allow rooms to be connected • A kitchen on the second floor • A choir room on the second floor, directly above the pastor’s parlor • A large hall on the second floor, with a stage and dressing rooms 3. The plan also included a new heating system for the church. The plan detailed in 1903 by the Courant was more specific than the plan described in 1902, but it appears that several key changes were made: 1. The building material had been changed from brick and stone to brownstone on the south and east sides of the structure (the north side presumably remained brick, and the west side was connected to the chapel) 2. The number of rooms on the first floor had been reduced from seven to three • In particular, in 1902 plans included a pastor’s study and two parlors, but in 1903 there was a single room that could serve as either a pastor’s office or as a parlor 3. The store rooms appear to have been eliminated from the second floor plan 4. The common entrance would now be through a main door rather than a porch 5. The heating system was scaled back to include only the church 6. There was no mention of bathrooms or the coat room in the 1903 article, but they appear to have been retained in the plan |
