Caption:   The original First Congregational Church building was dedicated in 1864, and faced Webster Street (now Middlefield Road). In 1872, the building was remolded and turned to face East Jefferson Street (now Jefferson Avenue). 18 feet was added to the main church building, as well as a tower and spire. The building in this photograph was torn down in 1922 and replaced by a new church building, shown in this photograph. The parsonage, built in 1891, can be seen to the left of the church. The congregation eventually moved to another location on Euclid Avenue. This photograph was taken by Keith Cole Studios of Redwood City.
