The Proposed New Church 
 
 ^ 
 
 ( )R a number of years the nieml)ers of the Summit 
 Street L'nited Urethren I'hurch ha\e felt the need 
 of a new, more commodious, and more modern 
 church-building, one designed to accommodate to 
 better advantage the various activities of the church, 
 especially the Sunday school, Ladies' Aid, and other 
 present organizations, as well as many other forms 
 of religious and social work in contemplation. All 
 this had been talked of for a long time, but no active work was done 
 toward the new building until a little over two years ago. Then a 
 very desirable location was purchased on the corner of Euclid and 
 Third streets by the trustees ; and a little later a building committee 
 was formed, plans were laid, and preliminary subscriptions were 
 taken which amounted to $17,000.00, nearly all of which has been 
 paid, and the remainder probably will be paid in a short time. The 
 lot is paid for, and there will soon be $10,000.00 in cash on deposit for 
 the new building. 
 
 There has been a general demand among our members that the 
 building proceed as soon as possible. In response to this demand, 
 the trustees and the building committee have had various plans drawn 
 by an architect, which were discussed, improved, and finally agreed 
 upon as presented in this folder, subject to such changes as may be 
 suggested by members or may seem desirable by the committee on 
 further study. 
 
 We think all will agree that this wdll give us a commodious, con- 
 venient, and beautiful building, and one which will go far to arouse 
 greater interest in the work of the church, religious and social. 
 
 It is estimated that the building, according to these plans, built 
 of pressed brick, with lledford stone trimmings, slate roof, steam heat, 
 finished with plain oak and hard ])inc, will have cost about $55,000.00 
 when completed. 
 
 A plan has been formed 1)_\- the committee to raise the necessary 
 additional money, and it is ho])e(l that these ])lans will be satisfactory 
 and will be closely adhered to. It now remains for the members to 
 do their part. 
 
 If the- members subscribe ])r()ni])tl\- and pa^■ into the treasurv 
 $10,000.00. the building will be begun early the coming s))ring, with 
 the hope that in a year we shall l)e able t<> occu])y the new and long- 
 dreamed-of church home. 
 
 When com]>leted, this church 
 modious place in wliicli a (IcnduI 
 
 Almighty God, and will be a monument lianded ddwn bv this to 
 succeeding generations. 
 
 will furnish a pleasant and com- 
 l)e<ii)le may assemble to Avorship 
 
Explanation gT Plans 
 
 The Exterior 
 
 The pictures on the next two pages show the front and side views 
 of the proposed new church. a\ hich is of a modern and attractive style 
 of architecture. It has a wicUh of 76 feet on Third Street and 152 feet 
 on Euclid Street. 
 
 First Floor Plan 
 
 This comprises a main auditorium which will seat 514 people; 
 to this can be added, l)y raising- partitions, the ladies' parlor, Sunday- 
 school and class-rooms, wdiicli, together with the balcony, will give a 
 total seating capacity of 2,278, all within sight and hearing distance 
 of the speaker. In addition to these general features, the main iloor 
 will have a large ladies' parlor, which can be used for small meetings, 
 a mothers' room, music room adjoining the choir seats, a minister's 
 room, and Sun(la}--school offices room, etc. 
 
 The main Sunda}'-school room will accommodate 423 people. 
 Opening into this are nine class-rooms on the main hoor and eleven 
 on the balcony floor, which will give a seating capacity of 1,248, sup- 
 plying ample and much-needed facilities for the various departments 
 of our Sundav-school work. 
 
 The Basement 
 
 The basement, in addition to the heating plant and several small 
 rooms, will contain three large rooms, besides a dining-room nearly 
 50 feet square. A large kitchen on the Euclid Avenue corner, instead 
 of where it is marked on the present plans. The main church floor 
 \y\\\ be elevated 7 feet above the sidewalk, which will give a dry floor, 
 high ceiliufr. and i)lentv of lioht to the basement.
