First Universalist Church, Rust Street, Salem.

Abstract

SV254 — Nelson Dionne Collection. View looking north down Rust Street at the First Universalist Church in Salem, Mass. View taken before an 1877-1878 renovation Creator unidentified, c. 1880. On the back, a description written following the renovation notes the history of the church building from its foundation through several renovations. Below this history is a list of pastors of the church from the first pastor, the Rev. Edward Turner, to the then-current pastor, the Rev. Edwin C. Bolles. NOTE: While the presence of the the backside descriptor makes the creation date of the stereographic card post-1878, the image itself is from before the renovation and as such is pre-1877.
