First Church Congregational, Gothic Revival church in Methuen, United States
The First Church Congregational stands at Pleasant and Stevens Streets with granite walls, a slate roof, and a tower featuring crenellated top elements.
The stone structure, built in 1855, replaced the original 1729 meeting house from Daddy Frye's Hill and moved to its current location in 1832.
The church holds a John LaFarge stained glass window from 1895 depicting Christ's Resurrection, representing significant American religious artistry.
The property occupies 1.8 acres within the Pleasant-High Historic District and maintains regular religious services under the United Church of Christ denomination.
The National Register of Historic Places listed this church individually in 1978, before its inclusion in the Pleasant-High Historic District in 1984.
