The eldest of them was the White Haven Church, formed in 1742. The second was the Fair Haven Church, formed by a secession from the White Haven Church in 1769. The third was that known as the Third Congregational Church, formed in 1826. The White Haven and Fair Haven churches were united in 1796, and the Third Church joined them in 1884. From 1796 to 1812, the church held its public services in each of its two meeting houses every other month. Early in 1813 the ecclesiastical society of the First Church pulled down their church edifice for the purpose of erecting a better one. The new Center church was finished in 1814. While it was in process of erection, the First society were granted permission to share with us the use of the Blue meeting house, and four services were thus held in it every Sunday.' (p. 4) David Hoadley, architect and builder, completed a new building for the United Church on the basis of plans by Ebenezer Johnson in 1815. Good, sewn, lt. dampstained in orig. olive wrapper. …
