Description
Dated 1907. Real-photo postcard of the Methodist Episcopal Church on the corner of Richhill and Franklin Streets in Waynesburg, Greene County, Pennsylvania.
Brown stone from Hummelstown, Pennsylvania, was used for the exterior of the Methodist Episcopal Church, later the First United Methodist Church, on the corner of Franklin and Richhill Streets, dedicated 29 September 1907. In 1908, Andrew Carnegie donated one half the cost of the original Hinner pipe organ. This church construction was completed in spite of the failure of the Farmers and Drovers Bank.
