Christ Episcopal Church - Corning, NY - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

(visit link)
"Christ Church has been part of the Corning community for nearly 170 years. It was incorporated in 1841, which was seven years before the incorporation of the City of Corning. In the beginning, the church did not have a facility of its own. During that time, services were held in various locations including the facilities of other denominations, a schoolhouse and a 70-seat chapel. By 1853, the parish had grown sufficiently to build its own facility. A 400-seat early Gothic church was constructed at the corner of Denison Parkway and Walnut Streets where the U.S. Post Office is located now. That building was severely damaged by fire in 1889, and the parish decided to build a completely new structure at the present location at First and Cedar Streets. The new Christ Church opened its doors in 1895."
