This building was on the southwest corner of Main and First. Built as a home for the Christian Church, it was later a one room school and served as the headquarters for the 20th Ohio Cavalry during the Civil War. It was eventually purchased by the Methodists, who used it for a while, and eventually tore it down to build their present building on the location. |

The Warsaw Baptists originally organized on July 29, 1843. They bought the lot from John Robinson for $100, and hired a Mr. Cull to construct it. It was brick, and cost $800. They rented it to the Methodists in 1857 for one Sunday a month for $1 per month. This first church was torn down in May, 1882, and the church you see above was erected on the site. |
