The sign out front

Side view of the church and graveyard
The three phases of the church building can be clearly seen in this photo: the oldest section of the church (the A-frame structure in the center); the next oldest section in the front (belfry, etc.) and the newest section in the rear (fellowship hall, etc).

Graveyard & sign from the street

The "Balotta House", believed to be the location of the old Methodist church, where the first members of East Liberty Presbyterian Church sometimes met.

Path behind the Balotta House leading to a very old graveyard.  The stones here are all nearly illegible, but a few can still be read.  The Dickerson family (who gave their name to Dickerson Run) is buried here, along with other members of the church from the distant past.

The interior of the sanctuary as it appears today.

A very old quilt containing the names of many past members of East Liberty Presbyterian Church.  It is believed this quilt was created as a fund-raiser for the church, with members paying to sew (or have sewn) their names into the quilt.

A close-up of the above quilt shows family names Freed, Hair, Brown, and Leighty among others.
