Interesting article about the church that was re-purposed as an office....makes
me think about the mansion on wick Ave that was converted into a church.
:)
Regarding the bank/former First Baptist Church story can anyone tell me exactly what stoodon that spot prior to it being the Baptist Church?
Towntalk - what is the address of this building?
Southeast corner Central Square.
Forgot all about this post ... the answer is the old Grand Opera House which was demolished to build the church.
