To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In April 1723 the people of Litchfield voted to build their first church. It was 45 feet long by 35 feet broad and at its raising all the adult males in the town sat on the sills at one time. The second church was finished in 1762 and was 60 feet by 45 and had a steeple. Both stood in the center of the village about where the Beecher monument now stands. The third church was dedicated on the 15th of July, 1829, the same day that Doctor Hickok was installed. It stood as you know on the same site... as this building. When I was young the Chapel, or Conference or Lecture Room as it was always called, was a separate one-story building standing back of and a little to the right of the church. The seats were of the natural wood, unpainted, on each side of a middle aisle and the men and women sat on opposite sides. Later the arrange- ment was changed, a double row of more comfortable and cushioned seats/ occupying the center with two side aisles along the walls. The exterior of the church itself is familiar to your sight as Colonial Hall though now without the steeple, which gave it an added dignity.
