I was in Webster Groves recently in the evening and parked across the street from the Webster Groves Presbyterian Church, with roots going back to 1865.
This building dates from 1924 and was an expansion from earlier structures. I photographed the tracery in the rose window way back in May of 2013.
That church is attached to an earlier church, built in 1890, which replaced another church which had burned down. The 1890 church was also damaged in a fire and seems to have inspired the construction of the 1924 sanctuary.
All of the campus is in the Gothic Revival style facing Lockwood Avenue.
That short bell tower contains a bell cast in 1893 by The Henry Stuckstede Bell Foundry Company of St.Louis. What’s unusual about it is that the custom inscription reads “Webster Grove [singular!] Presbyterian Church”. It was bought for the church by a committee of three men, so there is no record of what it cost — only of a small payment to a carpenter for “work in the bellfry” [sic] to hang the bell. Originally it must have been rung by hand, but for at least the last half century it has been swung by an electric motor.
