"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)."
