The corrugated bricks do not look like 1850s bricks. The building is not shown on local fire insurance maps from 1893 or 1905. And there is a 1923 datestone elsewhere on the building.
So do not be tricked: Whatever the heck this frigging datestone is commemorating, it is not the building of which it is part. It was probably transferred here from who the heck knows where.
-----------------------
In Sandusky, Ohio, on June 16th, 2024, was a datestone at the First Faith Community Church at the northwest corner of Hancock Street and East Jefferson Street.
According to the cover title of this book, the building was dedicated as the First Reformed Church in March 1925. It is identified on this 1955 fire insurance map as the First Evangelical and Reformed Church.
