Church of the Redeemer - Sayre, PA - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

"Robert Packer was the first Senior Warden of the parish and he dreamed of a stately stone edifice on S. Wilbur Avenue near his mansion. He wished to present a church and rectory to the parish along with a bountiful endowment. His generous plans were aborted by his unexpected death in 1883. His sister, Mary Packer Cummings, donated $33,000 to the parish and the cornerstone – erected under a $29,000 contract – was laid in June, 1888. The gothic edifice was consecrated on September 24, 1889...The tower is an integral part of the church structure containing the first town clock. It also houses a 14-bell carillon dedicated in 1974. The total weight of the bells is 5,144 pounds. In 1989 a Schantz pipe organ was installed in the sanctuary."
