Synopsis

Relive the final days of a historic Pittsburgh church with this detailed archival record of its closing exercises in May 1892.

This edition collects the events surrounding the lease of the Fifth Avenue property, the planning and execution of the closing services, and the wide interest shown by the city. It chronicles the last gatherings, the program as laid out for May 11–15, and the sense of farewell that filled the aisles and sermons as the church prepared to change its home.

• Speeches from former pastors and other respected leaders connected to the church’s history.
• The narrative places the events in the context of the church’s long history and its community role.
