This sum was raised by residents of the West End; and they who were most able to give, gave with abounding liberality. The building committee were Messrs. Charles Caldwell, J. B. Hatch, and J. M. Usher; and they spared no pains in procuring a skilful draughtsman. Mr. George A. Caldwell was the master-builder.
