Each story was carried separately by a six-horse team, crossing the river by Auburn street and Usher bridges to the new edifice of Calvary church (Methodist Episcopal) on Massachusetts avenue. There by means of a big spar derrick it was reassembled upon the church tower. This new structure, although of wood, in form and outline resembles King's Chapel of Boston. The latter, erected before Bulfinch's time, never had any surmounting turret or spire. But it is said that Bulfinch designed one for it, and also the colonnade around the tower which was later added thereto. A colonnade is a feature of the new Calvary church. At somebody's suggestion, the owners of the brewery, interested in its preservation, presented it to the church society, and according to the architect's plan it now forms a part of a pleasing and harmonious design.
