The United Congregational Church is a historic church building at 877 Park Avenue in Bridgeport, Connecticut It is a large brick Georgian Revival structure designed by architects Allen & Collens and built in 1925-26 for a congregation with nearly 300 years of history. It has a projecting tetrastyle gable-pedimented portico, supported by four monumental Doric columns. The tower is a multi-stage structure, beginning with a square brick section housing a clock. Above this the tower becomes wooden, with a segmented-arch cornice topped by a louvered octagonal belfry. Two more octagonal stages rise above, stepped back in size, but with similar colonettes and cornices, with a six-sided spire at the very top.[1]
The building was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[2]
