Saint John Episcopal Church
By James Wudarczyk
Work began on a new edifice in the late 1880’s finished early in 1892. At this time T. Jefferson Danner became Rector,
[When the original article was written, in 1933:] “The present Vestry are: W. R. Cuthbert, Senior Warden; John W. Irvine, Junior Warden; L. K. Hamilton, Secretary; T. J. Danner, Treasurer; C. T. Connell, George H. Danner, James R. Douglas, Donald M. Sallade, L. W. McGonigle.”
In the 1960’s, Saint John Episcopal Church was razed to make way for Mellon Bank at the corner of Main and Butler Streets.
