Scope and Content:

Undated photographic print of the First Episcopal Church in Concord, NH. The caption states, "1840 First Episcopal Church Albe Cady, Leavitt Virgin and Isaac Hill were appointed a committee to draft plans for this building. The plan was drawn by John Miller and the contract made with Virgin & Miller to erect the building. The lot of land was purchased from Nathaniel G. Upham for one thousand dollars. The work was completed near the close of 1839, and on January the church was consecrated to worship by the venerable Bishop Griswold of the Eastern diocese. Rev. Mr. Ten Broech the next day was instituted rector of the parish. The house was fifty-four feet long by forty wide, with fifty-two pews. This old church was vacated April 1, 1859, and for about eight months the congregation worshiped in the city hall. The new church corner-stone was laid May 25, 1859 and consecrated for use December 13, 1859. From then on the building had a very checkered life. In 1945 Robert W. Upton purchased the building and remodeled it into morden [modern] offices."
