The Third Reformed
Dutch Church, also known as North Reformed Church, was organized on December 16,
1856. Services were held for a time in Oration Hall. The
building of the church was commissioned in 1857 and the cornerstone was laid on
September 14, 1857. The stone building was erected at (115) Broad and
Bridge Streets. The church, built for $32,000, became the Sunday meeting
place for many of the city's elite. The church was badly damaged by fire in 1922
and 1931, but was restored to a functioning church. It is of
Gothic structure with buttressed walls. A Sunday School was added in 1883.
