4 Church Street 1939
The original Methodist church was constructed of wood in 1868 and boasted the tallest steeple in the county until it burned down during a February nor'easter in 1937. This English Gothic-style church was first dedicated in 1939, with hundreds of people gathered on the courthouse lawn. In 2011, it was discovered that the bell tower had shifted by an inch, and pieces of mortar were falling to the sidewalk. It was rededicated in October 2015, after significant structural repairs.
