RCC History Moment
In 1906 the Church was raised to add a basement for offices and function rooms. The stained-glass windows were also installed that year. They were donated by Leonard Carpenter Bliss and the Goff, Bowen and Horton families. They were created in Phipps Studio in Boston and the artist had worked at Tiffany Studios.
A pipe organ was installed in the Narthex in 1910. A hand pump was used until 1928 when it was replaced by an electric blower. In 1950 the organ was rebuilt and electrified. Over the years since it has been renovated, updated and computerized.
