Lower Freetown Presbyterian Church

We drove by the old Lower Freetown Presbyterian Church a week ago and commented, "it's still there." The building has been in very poor condition for years - hopes of it being restored and repurposed were never achieved. The church was located on Rte-8 close to Rte-109. It was built in 1890 - a Mr. Jesse Burns donated the wood to build the frame, and with donated labour the total cost of construction was about $950. IT WAS DEMOLISHED IN LATE MAY 2022.

This large 2-1/2 storey house was demolished this week. It was located at the corner of Rte-2 and the Darlington Road at Brookfield intersection. This is in Lot-23.
