This is a photo of Christ Episcopal Church. A charter incorporating the Parish was obtained from the County Court in 1854. The cornerstone was laid in 1858, and the church was consecrated in 1860. The church has functioned as a house of worship continuously ever since. We celebrated our 170th anniversary in November of 2024 with a rededication of the church.
Earl Babbitt, Mr. (Richard H.) Crockford (the church's organist and choir director), Bill Halsey, Horace Ross, Bill Mingin, and L.C.S. (Lewis Cheyney Smith).

Church building no longer exists. Approximate location was determined by comparing historic aerial photographs that showed the church to a current map of the location.
Shows church at 9th and Sayville in Eddystone, with trolley No.16 of the Chester Traction Co. This was likely taken by Appleton in support of a legal case regarding a trolley accident. A large factory is in the background.
