First Christian Assembly of
God
Christ Church. Glendale (Episcopal church)
In 1868 the cornerstone for the Christ Church Glendale was laid in the Sharon Avenue and Forest Avenue area. On the far right in the first Glendale Episcopal Church card you can see the old Glendale water tower that was built in 1892. In the 1920's this tower, holding about two days supply of water for the village suddenly collapsed producing waves of water that swept down Sharon Avenue. The water tower is shown in the 4th image (photograph). The bell tower seen in the 1st row was felt inadequate to hold the weight of the bells which totaled 6 tons and the 500lb clock. It along with other changes occurred in 1915.

First Methodist
First German Reformed Church
Glendale
Freeman Ave. & Hulbert
The First German Reformed Church at 1815 Freeman Ave. was constructed in 1850 to serve the West End's growing German American population. It became the First Reformed Church in 1918 (WW I) and operated until 1970. Due to declining membership the church was sold and became the Freeman Avenue United Church of Christ which lasted only until 1975. In 1993 the Seven Hills Neighborhood Houses, a nonprofit social-services agency bought the church and parsonage. The agency does not have the necessary funds to make needed repairs to the building and it now faces possible demolition. The 3rd non-postcard image shows the church as it looks today.
