Greenwood Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church
Trenton,  NJ
Opus 942



"Construction Is of Port Deposit granite with terra cotta trimmings. Inside the main sanctuary or the auditorium, as they called it, oak and wood wainscoting were used. The furniture was also of quartered oak.

"Of special note are the beautiful stained glass windows. The Resurrection Window behind the choir loft was
the work of a Mr. Ellsworth Weeder of Philadelphia. The other windows, the skylight, and the transoms were
done by the Decorative Glass Company of Philadelphia. This company was under the direction of Mrs. F. D. Sweeney considered to be one of the best colorists in the country.

"The pipe organ was secured from the Estey Organ Company of Brattleboro, Vermont, and was another source of pride. It has two manuals with fifteen stops, four couplers, seven pedal movements, and nine hundred and twenty eight pipes. A kinetic blower purchased from a Philadelphia firm provides the air for the organ.
The console is of quartered oak to match the other wood In the auditorium and the pipes are covered
with gold bronze. Miss Edith M. Groome was the first organist.

"The church was officially dedicated on January 21, 1912. This had been preceded by a week of festivities.
During this time recognition was given to the Building Committee who had given much of their time and resources. The committee included James W. Watts (Chairman), J. Edward Meyers, Edwin T. Fitzgeorge, Frank Vilet, Charles W. Whitehead, William Cook, Dr. F. K. Hazleton, and Reverend F. B. Harris (ex officio)."
