2023-06-18 - Around the turn of the century, the matter of building another church came to the fore, one incentive being a bequest of $5,000 for that purpose, from the estate of Judge Agnew. Bowing to public sentiment to vacate the Park, as the Presbyterians had done in 1890, land 120 by 120 feet was assembled at the corner of Turnpike and Elk Streets, now College Avenue, immediately across Turnpike Street from Beaver College. A contract was let to Anderson and Cook for $28,693 to construct his, the third church building of the Methodist congregation in Beaver, ground being broken on April 4, 1904. The last services were held in the church on the Park on Easter Sunday, April 23, 1905. -- Beaver County History website, https://www.bcpahistory.org/beavercounty/BeaverCountyTopical/Churches/ChurchesofBeaver/ChurchMethodist.html accessed 2023-06-17 -Paul R.
