"The present Baptist church was erected in 1866, being located at the corner of Jackson and Throop streets. It is a frame structure with a seating capacity of about 250, with prayer rooms in the rear, and cost about $7,000. It has been vastly improved in recent years, and the payment of the last obligation in 1927 was celebrated by a happy gathering of the membership. The steeple was blown off during a severe wind and thunder storm many years ago." [Woodstock Sentinel 3-13-1937 Sec 1 p 4]
