Transcript in progress. 

This is an audio recording (original analog cassette) converted into an MP3 digital recording. Meant to be a self-guided tour, this is a fascinating 25 minute walk through the history of the First Congregational Church. Learn about the beautiful stained glass windows, the architectural features and the Olmsted designed grounds surrounding our Gothic style church.

Dallas S. Townsend, Jr. (January 17, 1919 - June 1, 1995) was an American broadcast journalist who worked for CBS Radio and television for over 40 years.

Listen to the Walking Tour.

Samuel Wilde, Jr. Founder, Trustee. A memorial perpetuated in Wilde Memorial Chapel, presented by Mary E. Wilde, 1890. [book001-01] Wilde Memorial Chapel, designed by Portland architect Frederick Tompson, was built in 1902. The family of Samuel Wilde, whose wife Mary Ellen Lunt Wilde was a Portland area native, bestowed the cemetery with this granite Gothic chapel. The chapel has interior woodwork of cypress and stained glass windows by the firm of Moakley and Bell of Boston. Some restoration work has been done over the years providing continued use of the chapel for funerals and weddings.
