“The 24th Ward (new) was organized February 4, 1906, from the north part of the 19th Ward. Immediately after the organization of the ward, the erection of a substantial brick and stone chapel on the triangle at the junction of Wall St. and 1st West St. was commenced. To this chapel, which originally cost $17,000, improvements and additions have since been made so that it now has an auditorium with a seating capacity of 500 persons. In the basement is a spacious amusement hall.” William Wood Jr., the first Bishops of the ward, served nearly 25 years until 1925. The chapel continued in use until the 1970’s when it was sold by the church.
