Description
"In the fall of 1821 Reverend William Cravens came to the new community of Indianapolis to minister to those of the Methodist faith. That first church in the city of Indianapolis in 1821 was known as Wesley Chapel. The congregation first met in Isaac Wilson's log cabin on the Capitol Square grounds and was served by itinerant preachers. In 1825 a log cabin on Maryland at Meridian Street was purchased and enlarged to seat 200 people. It continued to be served by circuit riders. From 1829 to 1846, the congregation met in a small brick building on the Circle at Meridian Street. In 1846 the Wesley Chapel was torn down and a new church was built on the same site at a cost of $10,000; it housed the congregation during the Civil War and until 1869. After the war, the congregation decided to build "the most beautiful church in the city." They moved to New York and Meridian Streets and built an ornate Gothic structure with tall, slender spires for $100,000. This building served the congregation until a fire in 1904 burned it beyond repair. It was during this time that Wesley Chapel was renamed Meridian Street Episcopal Church"--
