$25,000 FOR STRUCTURE IN MIDDLETOWN
Plans have been completed for the new parish house which is to be erected this summer by Holy Trinity Church, at a cost of $25,000. Work is to be started on the new building at once and it is hoped to have it completed by September 1. The entire sum of $25,000 has been raised by subscription, $10,000 of this amount having been left to the church by Mrs. Hubbard. The plans as formed by Architect W.D. Johnson of Hartford call for the remodelling of the present parish house, and the erection of a large addition. In this new building there will be an hall capable of seating 500 persons.
The building will include rooms for the Men's Club, the Girl's Friendly Society and the Woman's Society, and a large kitchen and dining room. The contract for the mason work has been awarded to Mylchreest Brothers, and for the carpenter work to R.H. White. The building is to be erected in such a manner that another addition can be built at a future date.
