If you stood at the intersection of Main and Temple streets and looked east around 100-125 years ago, this is the sight you would see — a rather interesting looking church that sat prominently atop the incline where Temple Street met a pair of narrow little streets named West Olive and East Olive streets. The ‘Olives’ were eventually discontinued, and live on today as parts of Court Street and segments of the nearby parking lots. The lot belonging to the Finlay Company was created when the church, which later served as the Pilgrim Congregational Church until it was damaged during Hurricane Carol, and subsequently razed.
