Photograph of Tabernacle College Hill Building. "Tabernacle--College Hill. In June 1867 the Illinois Sunday School association convention was held in Decatur. It was the first state religious gathering to be held in the city and there was no building large enough to accommodate the meeting. A big tabernacle build out of rough lumber was erected on College Hill, the present College square at North and College streets. The sides were not enclosed and the ground was covered with straw. People came from all over the state to attend the meeting. Photo ran November 28, 1935."
