St. John's Congregational Church & Parsonage-Parish for Working Girls
St. John's Congregational Church & Parsonage-Parish for Working Girls, Historic church complex in Springfield, United States.
The church building features eight art-glass memorial windows on its Hancock Street facade and includes both worship spaces and educational facilities.
The congregation traces its origins to the Free Church founded in 1844, which merged with Sanford Street Congregational Church in 1889 to form St. John's.
The church served as a center for African-American community education, establishing clubs, an employment bureau, and a domestic science night school.
Located at 69 Hancock and 643 Union Streets, the complex received National Register of Historic Places designation in 2016, enabling access to preservation resources.
The facility incorporated a training center for working girls, which later transformed into a parish house and meeting space during the 1960s.
