Trinity Presbyterian Church of Berwyn, Winter, 1887-8
Description: With the vegetation gone in this image taken by Sachse in the winter of 1888, the house east across Church Avenue is plainly visible. Behind the church, where similar parts of the cast iron fencing shown in the foreground is still there today, is the Berwyn Town Hall, built in the 1880’s, which faced onto Church Avenue, then a residence, and beyond that the Methodist Church. One came to church in one’s horse and buggy, where the horse was left under cover in the sheds during worship. The sheds were located behind the church before you got to the Town Hall. Behind the church one can discern a cart with a horse in front. It is probable that this vehicle had transported Julius Sachse and his camera when he came to take this picture. - Herb Fry and Roger Thorne.
