Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church

On 8 June, 1845 Rev. Grosvenor W. Heacock held a service in the Park Church, and with 150 people attending, saw hope in reestablishing the congregation. At this time he began a pastorship which would last for more than thirty years, until his death on 6 May, 1877. 

On 13 July, 1845 he reorganized the congregation once again as the Park Church Society. They carried this name until the city renamed the square on 1 December, 1879.
