Theodore Parker Unitarian Universalist Church

Theodore Parker Unitarian Universalist Church is a church building in West Roxbury built from pink granite with a heavy square tower topped by a crenellated parapet. The structure displays Norman-style architecture and sits prominently at the corner of Centre Street.

The church was built in 1900 according to architect Henry M. Seaver's design, following a Norman style. It received recognition as a National Register of Historic Places site in 2020.

The congregation uses the building for concerts and gatherings that draw people from the surrounding neighborhood throughout the year. The interior with its artistic windows creates a welcoming space where visitors spend time and feel a sense of community.

Visiting works best on Sunday mornings starting at 10:30 AM when services make the building actively open and welcoming. You can also admire the exterior architecture and windows from the street at any time.

Inside are seven stained glass windows created by Tiffany Studios between 1894 and 1927, which were completed over several decades. A large rose window on the main facade stands out as a visual centerpiece that catches every visitor's attention.
