Title
Picture of the Guild Hall that the St. Ita's Parish was founded in
Description
This image depicts the guild hall where Rev. John Crowe was tasked to establish the St. Ita's Parish. The guild hall was used for the meetings before the frame building of the church was created. It was home to meetings for different parts of the Edgewater community before they had their own buildings. The parish's first meeting was in the guild hall and the pastor gave the sermon on a wooden box in order to stand above the crowd. The guild hall was only a short part of the life of the church, it was only the meeting place for the parish for a couple months before the frame building that held the school building in the basement.
