First Congregational Church

First Congregational Church

Located at 115 North Wood Street, this two-story brick, three-bay, Victorian Romanesque church was built in 1907. The building has a stone foundation, stretcher bond brick exterior and gable roof. On the west side is a one-story incised loggia with Romanesque stone columns, stone arches and a castellated parapet. The main entrance has ca. 1920 solid wood doors. Windows are arched one-over-one wood sash with stained glass lights. At the northwest corner is a square bell tower with stone belt courses and arched openings with stone shoulders and keystones. Other windows are rectangular with rock-faced stone lintels and sills. In the gable field on the main façade is a Palladian window with stained glass. It is currently Northwood Art & Event Center.
