This Richardsonian Romanesque church was erected in 1892-93 according to plans by Bay City architect Dillon P. Clark. It is one of several buildings in the city constructed of red “canal rubble” sandstone discarded during a power canal excavation. The church sustained three fires; the most recent occurred on December 22, 1941, during a wartime blackout. Although the interior suffered extensive damage, the original exterior structure remains substantially unchanged.

Example

For example, one family's tree showed the Articles of Confederation marker in Pennsylvania standing under a mile from where William Gabby lived in the 1760s.

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
