This commemorative key in its original box was presented to Mrs R. P. Baines on opening an extension to the Seven Kings United Methodist Church and School on Jan 27th, 1923. The presentation of a key at ceremonial openings of Methodist buildings was established practice by the 1920s, although this key and box are more elaborate than many of that period.
