In reverent memory of its pilgrim founders this fifth meeting house was erected A.D. MDCCCXCVII.” Inside the vestibule, stone tables continue telling the pilgrim story showing the congregations that sprang from this mother church. The first three elders – William Brewster, Thomas Cushman and Thomas Faunce—are listed here as well. Once inside this lobby space, beautiful Tennessee pink marble (like that found in the U.S. Capitol) is the primary design element. Its lovely sheen and color are repeated in the staircases and the narthex wainscoting.
