First Congregational Church, 1902 (12/75)

First Congregational Church, 1902

The First Congregational Church, at SW Park & Madison Street, is shown here seven years after its completion in 1895. It was designed to look similar to the Old South Church in Boston and for many years was the tallest building in Portland. The 175-foot bell tower still stands but the smaller towers and cuppola were removed in 1951 due to extensive damage.
