    It has gone through many changes, including the transition from a Roman Catholic to an Episcopal Church, and the color has changed from red brick to white, but the building on 420 W. Market St., Warsaw, which houses St. Anne's Episcopal Church, still remains the same basic structure it was 100 years ago when the cornerstone was laid July 4, 1876.

This being the 100th birthday of the building, there is a special interest in this bicentennial year. It will be the first stoping point for the Kosciusko County Historical Tour on Oct. 3.
