Church of the Assumption BVM – 7 Pulaski Street, Palace Hill area of Oil City Although there had been a large Polish Catholic population in Oil City prior to 1899, this church was not erected until the early 1900s. By 1912 additions were made which included a parish house and a parochial school building. |
First Baptist – Oil City – corner West First and Orange streets The first structure built on this site for the First Baptist Church burned January 4, 1920 along with the “town clock” that was located in its belfry. Through the efforts of Homer James, C.W. Gleason, T.A. McCracken, Robert Lowrie , W.T. Ebersole, E.E. Bailey, and J.W. Isherwood, a choice brick building, costing about $125,000, was erected and was dedicated June 27, 1926. Among those who had a part in the dedication, were the pastor, Rev. B.C. Barrett, Rev. Dr. Massey of Tremont Temple, Boston, and Rev. C. Wallace Petty of Pittsburgh, the historian being F.S. Kitchell. |
