Grace Methodist Church

by

From The Story of Dartmouth, by John P. Martin:

This is Grace Methodist Church after the extension of 1876 had provided seating accommodation for about 150 additional persons, and the two towered steeples were erected. The 1853 entrance was in the middle of the front of the edifice, and was reached by a long imposing flight of steps from the sidewalk.
