First Congregational Church

-A A +A
1889–1890, John Snyder. 1024 4th Ave.

One of nearly three dozen churches built in Beaver Falls during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this neat, white frame church originally served a German Evangelical Protestant congregation. A steep gable defines its simple massing, and on the bracketed entry facade, a small dormered doorway is flanked by paired triangular-topped windows. Five bays of similar peaked windows line each side of the church, and are trimmed with narrow decorative bargeboards echoing the horizontal wood siding.
