Radnor Presbyterian Church
Founded 1907
Wayne, Windermere and Louella Ave.
Disbanded 19??
The Radnor Presbyterian Church was located in a tudor-style building located next to the Radnor High School on Windemere Ave. The Church was in close proximity to the public schools, and the land on which it was located is now the property of the School District. The first minister of the Church, Rev. Frank C. Putnam, was installed on March 10, 1908. The Church building was dedicated a day later. The building was built on the side of a hill, and a stone bridge had to be built to the building's entrance. Due to the popularity of the Wayne Presbyterian Church just down the street, less is known about Radnor Presbyterian. The church was disbanded sometime in the early half of the century, the building demolished, and the land became part of the School District. There is no trace of the building left, however on the approximate site of it there are several gray stones in the ground. Could these be part of the church's foundation? The Radnor School District plans to build a portion of the new Middle School on the site of the Church.
