Christ Episcopal Church, founded in 1762, is the oldest English speaking congregation in Reading. |
The present building was built between 1825-26. Its Neo-Gothic form took shape during a major renovation in 1847. |
The spire was constructed in the early 1860's by Edward T. Potter, an architect with expertise in Episcopal church design. |
Nearly 200 feet tall, it is a prominent feature of the Reading skyline. |
