It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office. ARCHITECTURAL STATEMENT: THIS RICHARDSONIAN ROMANESQUE CHURCH SHARES MANY OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF TRINITY EPISCOPAL CHURCH (203 ALGOMA), PARTICULARLY THE USE OF ROCK FACED STONE AND MASSIVE ARCH FORMS. CHURCH OF 1890 IS SIMILAR TO RICHARDSON'S ALBANY WORK WITH THE LIGHT COLORED STONE, TOWER AND TURRETS, USE OF BROAD ARCHES AND FEELING OF HEAVY STONE RELIEVED WITH WINDOWS AND COLOR. HISTORICAL STATEMENT: THIS CONGREGATION WAS A SPIN-OFF OF THE FIRST M.E. CHURCH ON MAIN STREET. IT FORMED IN 1872 AND MET FOR MANY YEARS IN THE WAGON SHOP OF THE C. N. PAINE CO. UNTIL IT WAS DESTROYED BY FIRE. MANY PROMINENT OSHKOSH FAMILIES BELONGED TO THIS CHURCH INCLUDING THE PAINES, SAWYERS, AND HICKS. (A). |
