present lot was purchased in January 1886 and the wooden church was moved in the spring of that year. At that time, the entrance was on Kentucky Avenue. The second rector, John H. Townsend assumed the pastorate in 1891. A dynamic priest, he immediately planned a new church building. The chimes were given by the Hemsley family, and Miss Josephine Fletcher organized and directed the boys’ choir which took part in the first service, held Whitsunday May 13, 1894. In the fall of 1896, a pipe organ was installed and Mr. Alber Dietz came from New York City as the first full-time organist and choir master. In 1900 this office was filled by Mr. Alger E. Weeden, who held his post for forty years and left his imprint on both the parish and the whole community. The same year also saw the construction of the parish hall buildings as well as the beginnings of St. Augustine's and All Saints’ Chapels, starting the realization of Father Townsend's dream of Ascension as mother church. Soon after, Church of the Good Shepherd was built in the inlet section. ... In this, our Centennial Year, we look forward to a second century of service as a missionary parish for Christ and His Church. The parish must stand as a witness to the Catholic faith of the Episcopal Church in downtown Atlantic City. In this time of citywide transition, the Church of the Ascension offers an enduring message: ‘with God’s help, we shall be of even greater service to the community: to His great glory. ... As of this writing (November 1983) there remain two Episcopal Churches in the City of Atlantic City—the Church of the Ascension and St. Augustine’s. Where there were once five Episcopal Churches in Atlantic City there are now just two. The Church of the Ascension being the “mother church” must survive and become a landmark in the ever changing facade of Atlantic City.”

Under his direction, the parish was duly incorporated January 3, 1881, entering legally and canonically into possession of the church property. Rev. Wm. H. Avery succeeded to the rectorship in February 1882 and continued in charge for some years. In 1886, the vestry, seeking a more central and convenient location bought ground at Pacific and Kentucky Avenues and with the advice and consent of the canonical authorities removed the frame chapel thither adding an annex for Sunday school purposes. Rev. J. H. Townsend became rector December 1, 1891, and laid the corner stone of the present edifice April 27, 1893, which was completed by the liberal offerings of resident and transient worshippers and opened for use May 13, 1894. This structure was designed by Mr. Lindley Johnson is in the Spanish Renaissance style and is a good example of a commodious yet inexpensive hard material building well adapted to the varying needs of this population and climate." 303:, wrote: “The Church of the Ascension was organized as an all-the-year-round parish in 1879, principally through the efforts of Mrs. Francis W. Hemsley, the daughter of Bishop Underdonk and mother of Frederick Hemsley, present owner of the Hotel Brighton.” The Hemsleys, whose son Frederick was the grantor of the plot of land on which the church was built, were parishioners of the church who did much to establish the city as a year-round destination; according to Heston, Francis Hemsley in 1876, “announced that the Hotel Brighton would thereafter be conducted as an all-the-year-round hotel. Mr. Hemsley thus inaugurated the winter season which has contributed so much to the popularity of Atlantic City as a health resort. The winter and spring business at many of the hotels is now more profitable than the summer business.” Francis Hemsley had retired to Atlantic City “in the early 70’s for the benefit of his health” before his death in 1882. 394: 403: 73: 376: 1372: 98: 123: 1280: 574: 565: 556: 529: 520: 511: 502: 493: 484: 466: 457: 448: 439: 421: 547: 538: 330:, and six cottages in the Chelsea section of Atlantic City, including his residence at the intersection of Maryland and Pacific avenues. In 1900, the Church of the Ascension parish house and auditorium were designed and constructed, possibly by Lindley Johnson, who was still in active practice at the time. The parish house and auditorium, which ran north along Kentucky Avenue from the rear of the church, were executed in a manner meant to balance and unify the original composition through identical coloration and materials. 475: 430: 412: 311:

In 1886, the original timber frame Church of the Ascension was relocated from the intersection of Michigan and Pacific avenues to its ultimate location at the northwest corner of Pacific and Kentucky avenues to suit a parish desire for a more central location. The timber-frame church was demolished in 1883 to allow construction of the Spanish Renaissance-style Church of the Ascension, which was designed by Philadelphia-based architect
