Houghs Neck Congregational Church, Massachusetts, United States

4.0 (1 review) Spent Ranking #20 in Quincy Churches & Cathedrals

PRETTY STONE-FRONT CHURCH

The Houghs Neck Congregational Church congregation dates back to the early 1880’s as nondenominational. Construction of the building we see today began in November 1931 with much volunteer labor. The church was dedicated on Easter Sunday in April 1932. The nave and second floor were added later. The new sanctuary was dedicated on December 29, 1940. In subsequent years, stained glass windows and an electronic organ were added. Other improvements have been made. The church bell is visible in the open belfry. The red door suggests a welcoming atmosphere inside. Red doors were an early American symbol for hospitality. The façade of church appears to be Quincy granite. The stone front gives it the look of a stone church in the English countryside. I think this pretty church with a slightly quaint look fits in well with the Houghs Neck section of Quincy as that area has a casual beach town character. I rate The Houghs Neck Congregational Church at 4.25. If you found this review helpful, please click THANK below.
