St. Anne's Episcopal Church

St. Anne's Episcopal Church presents board-and-batten siding, a gable roof, and a front facade with two towers of different heights at Church Street.

Built in 1853, this church represents the sole known creation of architect James Renwick Jr in Maine while he directed construction of the Smithsonian Institution Building.

The Episcopal congregation maintains weekly services in this wooden structure, which exemplifies the adaptation of Gothic elements to North American construction methods.

The church occupies half an acre at the intersection of Church and Washington Streets, featuring a main entrance through the right tower with a clock.

A four-part stained glass window with tracery stands at the center of the main gable, demonstrating the detailed craftsmanship of nineteenth-century religious architecture.
