Description: This picture is a collage of three newspaper photos that represent different stages of buildings used by the Presbyterian in Crawfordsville. The picture on the far left reads, "Center Church - Corner Washington and Pike Streets. On the site of the present Joel Block, built in 1840, removed in 1880." The picture in the center's caption reads, "Wabash Avenue Presbyterian Church - Corner of Wabash Avenue and Washington n Streets." The picture on the right's caption reads, "First Presbyterian Church - Corner Water and Pike Streets. Built in 1852, remodeled in 1882." These articles were published in the Crawfordsville Journal on 1924-03-21 for the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of Montgomery County. Also included on the back of the photo is a copy of the article about the centennial of the Presbyterian Church in Crawfordsville (it is too long to be placed here).
