Grand Rapids view
Description:
Aerial view of homes, a church identified as Park Congregational Church and as Wealthy Street Baptist Church. Circa 1865. However, further research shows that the church is Fountain St. Baptist Church which was first occupied in1873, with construction finalized in 1877. The Methodist Church, on Division and Fountain, and which would have been to the right of Fountain St. Church in this photo, does not appear. The Methodist Church was completed in 1869, vacated approximately 1910 - 1912. The Keeler Building was built in its place and opened 1914. Therefore, the date of this photo is approximately 1912.
