First Presbyterian Church - Corning, NY - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

(visit link)

"In 1863 plans were started to finance a new church edifice and in 1867, during the final period of the Civil War, under the pastorate of Rev. William A. Niles, D.D., the present stone church was built, diagonally across from the second edifice. The cost of this new church was $36,000. The bell from the old church was cast by Andrew Meneely of West Troy, New York in 1845. After the present church was completed, the trustees had it moved from the old church to the new, where it still hangs. For 150 years it has called the people to worship at God's house.

During Rev. Niles ministry, two revivals were held, one in 1864 and another in 1866, when 80 were received into the church. In 1868, Rev. Niles gave a membership of 274 in his report."
