Calvary Baptist Church

(1914) short film

This ten-minute film, one of the holdings of the Rhode Island Historical Society, was shot on June 14, 1914, and documents part of a Children's Day celebration. The following description is from the RIHS catalog: "Outside church with cars and trolley moving past. Pastor Edward Holyoke, Superintendent Thomas W. Waterman and Assistant Treasurer Frank E. Ballou on steps of church. Parade of all the church members coming out front door of church and past the camera. Pastor Edward Holyoke and Thomas W. Waterman presenting a Loving Cup and bouquet of flowers to Fred C. Lawton on steps of church." The film was restored in 2010 using a National Film Preservation Foundation grant.

Calvary Baptist Church still stands at 747 Broad Street in Providence and has an active congregation.
