Long Description:
Originally built in 1857 with a single, central spire, the First
Presbyterian Church was greatly enlarged and rededicated in 1899.
Detroit architect Julius Hess redesigned the church, using the
original sanctuary walls, and added a columned entrance portal and
twin towers. The cupola-topped towers are reminiscent of English
Baroque churches, yet the interior and overall design reflect
Renaissance architecture. The rose window was made by Tiffany &
Co. of New York.

NEW: Instructions for logging Missing Marker Visits.
If the Marker is missing, but still listed here, you must
provide a photo of you at the actual item historically honored.

log that you took your photo at the Historical Location instead of
the marker, because the marker was missing. Please also still
include a bit about your visit to the site.
