Congregational Church
Northwest Corner of Adams and
Memorial Streets, Pittsfield
Built 1892
This
long-vacant structure, whose four-story bell tower has been a Pittsfield downtown
landmark for 112 years, was ordered torn down in early-September 2003 by
the City Council due to safety concerns. Numerous attempts to stabilize
the 1881 brick building have failed since it was abandoned in the
late-1980s.
A state grant of $350,000 was withdrawn earlier this year due
to budget concerns. The church was on
LPCI’s “Ten Most” list in
2000.
