"In 1899, the congregation decided to build a new, larger church on the same spot. This is the current Romanesque building at the corner of Court and Cayuga Streets. For the foundation, all the stone of the old building foundation was used. A large interior, with wide arches and coffered ceiling, offered space for the 629 members. Members contributed generously to embellish the sanctuary with elements such as stained glass windows and columns topped by intricately carved capitals."
