Locations of First Reformed

First Reformed had 3 different homes before uniting with Second to create Central Reformed. The first was at the corner of Michigan and Ottawa NW (#1 on map), 1842-72. After it burned, the church built on the west side of N Division between Pearl and Lyon (#2), where it resided from 1872 to 1891.

First's final address was 164 Fountain NE (#3), from 1891 until the merger with Second in 1918. This facility remained in use as Central Reformed until it was destroyed by fire in February 1953.
