The old theatre workshop

Kentucky · USA · Church

The building was a Baptist meeting house in 1809. The minister's daughter was seeing a man he would not have, and came to him late one night with news.

The building in Owensboro, Kentucky was a Baptist church in 1809, and the minister lived there with his family.

His daughter was seeing a young man he disapproved of. Late one night she came to him and told him she was pregnant.

He told her he wanted nothing more to do with her.

What is said to have followed is not recorded anywhere and is left out here. No name survives for her and no record of the family has been produced, so the story should be treated as one the building has carried rather than as history.

One correction is worth making, because it says something about how these accounts travel. A Baptist congregation has a pastor, not a priest. Somebody along the chain of telling reached for the wrong word, and it has been repeated ever since.

The building later served as a theatre workshop.
