Yes... it is south of the Olive F. Arms house.

Here's a better picture of the original mansion - from a better angle

This is the building to the south of the Arms Museum, correct?

 :) Thank you for the link to the article.  :)

It just goes to show how our heritage can be saved and reused.

Nope - the thing that makes this old mansion special, is that it IS the church - it was remodeled and converted
into what we see as the church building.  An architect was brought in to re-make the house.  A lot of the original
fine woodwork, etc was saved and re-used to make the church.

if you look at the peaks in the roof, and the overall shape, you can see it's the same building, with a lot of work
done on it.


Here's a link to the Google News archive - it was in the Sept 15, 1946 issue.

Was the home demolished to make way for the church?
