- Monument in Market Square, & Old church across from 5442 [Germantown Avenue], taken from 2nd floor window
- Description
- Glass negative showing Market Square taken from the second-story window at the Deshler-Morris House at 5442 Germantown Avenue. The Civil War monument, consisting of a statue of a man standing on a carved pedestal, stands in the square to the left. A sidewalk and a metal fence border the square. The Market Square Presbyterian Church stands behind the square. A brick road with trolley tracks runs down the center. First called The Green, Market Square was established from land originally owned by James De la Plaine as early as 1703. As a center of community activity, Market Square contained not only market stalls but also the prison and stocks. Samuel B. Morris planted many of the Square’s original trees. Prominent buildings situated around the Square include the Deshler-Morris House, the German Reformed Church, and the Fromberger-Harkness House. The Market Square monument, built in 1883, commemorates the contributions of soldiers to the Civil War. Designed as a Union soldier, it rests on a pedestal made from granite taken from Devil’s Den, Gettysburg. The fence surrounding the monument was constructed from old musket barrels and bayonets. Cannons used during the war stand beside the monument. Originally built as a Dutch Reformed Church circa 1710, the Market Square Presbyterian Church became a German Reformed Church by 1732. The building was razed and rebuilt in 1838-1839, and then enlarged in 1857. The congregation, led by pastor Jacob Helffenstein, withdrew from the Reformed Church in 1855 and became Presbyterian in 1858. In 1888, the church was rebuilt after the designs of architect George T. Pearson. By the early 21st-century, it housed the Impacting Your World Christian Center., Photographer remarks: (2 plates), Digitization and cataloging has been made possible through the generosity of David Marriott Morris, Eleanor Rhoads Morris Cox, and William Perot Morris in memory of Marriott Canby Morris and his children: Elliston Perot Morris, Marriott Canby Morris Jr., and Janet Morris and in acknowledgment of his grandchildren: William Perot Morris, Eleanor Rhoads Morris Cox, Jonathan White Morris, and David Marriott Morris., Edited.
