Today’s fire (Feb 14, 2011)..destroyed a landmark building on Main Street.  Originally it was the Salem Baptist Church (shown here on a 1914 Postcard..written by a New Rochelle boy named Edwin Alexander) The original steeple can be seen on many of the old Main Street postcards and served as point of reference. …Current photo of the Union Baptist Church was taken in 2004.
