View of Main Street from Saint Paul's located corner Chatham street and High Street. Ground was broken in the spring of 1868, and the corner stone was laid July 4, 1869. Since this time the building has progressed by stages until the completion of the steeple or tower in September, 1889, the latter remaining unfinished many years after the body of the church was completed. St. Paul's is of Gothic architecture, built entirely of granite, 185 feet long, 90 feet broad, with a basement of 16 feet in the clear, under the entire church. A superb marble statue of St. Paul, of heroic size, procured through Randolph Rogers, from Rome, the gift of Mrs. Geo. Crompton, was raised and placed on a pedestal in front of the church, July 4, 1874, with imposing ceremonies.
