First Unitarian Universalist Church of Niagara, Classical Revival church in Niagara Falls, New York.
The First Unitarian Universalist Church is a Classical Revival religious building located in Niagara Falls. Its exterior features rough-hewn limestone walls, four Doric columns framing the main entrance, and a balanced symmetrical design throughout.
Construction of the building began in 1921 using limestone quarried directly from the site. The structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
The interior uses theater-style seating rather than traditional pews, reflecting the congregation's progressive outlook. This flexible arrangement allows the space to adapt for both spiritual gatherings and community events.
The building is situated on Main Street and welcomes visitors during service times. The congregation offers both in-person attendance and virtual participation through live streaming for those who prefer remote access.
The limestone used in construction came from excavation on the same site where the building stands. This direct connection between materials and place created a building genuinely rooted to its landscape.
