From New Bedford, Mass

From the May 1897 issue of The Christian Science Journal

New Bedford Mercury


The opening services at the new quarters of Church of Christ, Scientist, were held yesterday morning. The building was formerly occupied by the St. Luke's Hospital, and is numbered 109 Fourth Street, about midway between Russell and Madison Streets.

The building has been entirely renovated and remodelled, and neatly painted outside as well as in the interior. The long hall formerly extending through the building has been partitioned off, forming a commodious lobby. At the north of the lobby, two rooms have been converted into one, making an audience room. At the west end a platform has been constructed. This room is painted, papered, and carpeted in harmonizing colors, and a light, cheerful meeting room is obtained.

At the south side in front is the library, the papering and painting being of a greenish hue, making the room a perfect one for its purpose. The library contains books and magazines appertaining to Christian Science, and this room is open from 9 to 12, and 2 to 5 week days, for the public.
