Description

Kinsman Presbyterian Church taken from across Church Street. Attached description: "White-towered church dominates Kinsman, Ohio It was spring wanderlust that took one off to Kinsman, Ohio, a few miles from the Pennsylvania border, a place every Ohioan ought to know. Dominating the town is its impressive white-towered church, set on a hill, a beautiful old graveyard clustering about it, surrounded by some of the most gorgeous trees in the state. Standing up there on the steps of the church, its pillared classic facade behind, see 'All the sullen grays and pet and duns of winter wake to color in the plan!' Copied from the Old North church in New Haven, Conn., it is Presbyterian-Congregationalist, the result of the old time plan of union. It was built in the early 1830's by one Willis Smith, a gifted architect and master builder, who came from Lisbon, Conn., bringing embellishment to Kinsman and honor to himself. -Grace Goulder, Cleveland Plain Dealer".
