Winterport Congregational Church

Winterport Congregational Church, originally and once again the Winterport Union Meeting House, is a historic church at 177 Main Street in Winterport, Maine. Built in 1831, it is a prominent little-altered example of Gothic Revival architecture, designed and built by Calvin Ryder, a well-known regional architect and builder. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
The Winterport Congregational Church is located in Winterport's village center, on the west side of Main Street just south of its junction with Elm Street. It is set well back from the street , with a tree-lined series of stepped terraces giving it a somewhat monumental setting. The building is a modest rectangular single-story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and granite foundation. The front facade is finished in flushboarding, while the other sides are finished in wooden clapboards. The building corners have pilasters with lancet-arched panels. The front facade has a central Gothic lancet-arched window, flanked by entrances with similar lancet-arch features. A tower rises above the roof gable, with a square base topped by a second section that houses a clock and belfry. Above this rises an octagonal steeple, with pinnaces at the corners of its base.
