St. Paul's Episcopal Church's chapel (on left in the photographs) was built in 1856 and
serves today as the parish auditorium.  Sidney & Merry, architects,  designed the Dixon
House in 1862 (behind trees on right).  The church cornerstone of the church in this view
was laid on October 25, 1861 and construction was completed in 1862.   The present
church, parish house, and Sunday School, designed by Zantzinger, Borie & Medary,
architects, was built between 1923 and 1928.
