Description
The United Baptist Church in Lakeport, NH. The plans for the church building were drawn up by architect-builder George H. Guernsey of Montpelier, Vermont in the spring of 1891. In mid-April, ground was broken for the foundation. The contract for the building was awarded to the architect. Before the end of the month, Mr. Guernsey’s carpenters were at work on the frame. By early October, the slaters had covered the main roof and commenced on the spire. November saw interior plastering and finish work underway. The bell and the clock in the tower, then the only illuminated clock north of Concord, were installed in December. March of the following year saw the installation of the organ and in April, the pews were installed and the carpeting lay down. Finally on May 27, 1892, the new church was dedicated free of debt. The cost, including furnishings, was $19,427.88
