 There is some evidence that a Baptist congregation also used the building for a time, but there was repeated discussion within the town over the need to update the building beginning in the 1840s.These discussions were finally acted upon in 1872, when the gallery level was removed along with the outside stairs, and the roof was lowered to its present height.The building was electrified in the 1930s, and the stage and kitchen were added in 1940.
