Old South Church, corner of Main and Wellington. The church was built around 1890. The structure was built to replace the "Old South Church" which was removed to make room for the present City Hall...
The new and costly edifice, at the corner of Main and Wellington streets, was dedicated Sept. 17,1889. It cost (including land) probably $150,000. It is of brown stone throughout, and of novel architecture, and there are few handsomer churches in the state. The amount awarded the Parish in 1887, when the old building was removed from the Common, was $148,500; but a compromise was effected by which the City paid $115,395.25, and gave the old bell in addition. worcestermass.com
