This undated photo shows the bead-board interior of the bell tower added to the Trabue community hall. The hall was one of the first structures erected in Trabue (now Punta Gorda). It was used for public meetings, school classes and nondenominational church services until 1889, when it was purchased by the Methodist congregation. The Methodists added the bell tower and a vestibule and conducted services there until a new red-brick church was built in 1914. This structure was relocated to 233 Harvey Street and converted to a residence. The photo was taken during renovation of the building to refurbish it as a bed and breakfast inn.
