History
In 1855 it was the first public building in the city to use gas lighting.[4] It has survived an interior fire in 1893 and extensive flood damage in the Ohio River flood of 1937.[4]
On June 23, 1819, the Episcopal Parish of All Saints of Portsmouth, Ohio was organized in the home of John Smith.[5] The first rector, installed on June 19, 1831, was Henry Caswell.[6] A sanctuary was built on the church property in 1833, the church website states that the cornerstone for this building was the first for any church in the Portsmouth area.[6] The main building was erected in 1850.[4][7][6] The nave was updated in 1972 then in 1995 it was restored.[6] Remaining original furnishings include the baptismal font, the low altar and an original pew.[6] A chalice from the 1820 visit of Philander Chase, Bishop of Ohio is on display in the narthex set in a niche.[6] It was listed in the National Register on March 25, 1982, significant primarily as striking example of Gothic Revival architecture.[1]
An organ originally built in 1962 by the Schlicker Organ Co. of Buffalo, New York and renovated and updated by Peebles–Herzog Inc. of Columbus, Ohio in 2006 is installed in the church.[8]
