Talk:St. Edward's Catholic Church

First church in the world with electric lights
Note that the First Presbyterian Church of Roselle, New Jersey also claims to be the first church in the world with electric lights. See http://www.boroughofroselle.com/History/ First Presbyterian's claim is dated April 1883. When in 1883 did St. Edward's get its electric lights? Greenshed (talk) 01:59, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Apparently St. Edward's electrification dates from after 4 July 1883. See https://www.newspapers.com/clip/17989813/shamokin_newsdispatch/ Greenshed (talk) 02:02, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
 * It appears that London's City Temple church had electric lighting in 1882. See and . Phleg1 (talk) 03:41, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Third public building in the world to operate on electricity
This claim is dubious. Besides the churches in London and New Jersey, there was also the Savoy Theatre ("the first public building in the world to be lit entirely by electricity" in 1881) and the Mahen Theatre in Brno ("the first public building in the world to use Edison's electric lamps" in 1882 as per the Thomas Edison article). --Phleg1 (talk) 18:19, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Per the edit on this, I removed the content and dubious tag: I am not finding another "third public building", but I did find second 3-wire and third church. It is better to leave it out.–CaroleHenson (talk) 18:36, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
