Park Street Church is one of the iconic churches in downtown Boston. While many people think of William Lloyd Garrison, a prominent abolitionist, when thinking of the church, there were many other preachers who graced the pulpit at Park Street Church. One example is Rev. Arcturus Zodiac Conrad, D.D., (1855-1937), who was pastor at Park Street Church from 1905 to 1937. The following images show Rev. Conrad in the church. The images also show different parts of the church, both exterior and interior.
Rev. Conrad was ordained Presbyterian, but entered the Congregational fellowship in 1890. His first Congregational pulpit was at First (Old South) Church, Worcester, Mass., from 1890-1902. While in Boston, Conrad was also involved in organizations like the Boston City Missionary Society. More information on Conrad's affiliations and publications can be seen in the 1937 Congregational Yearbook.
