First Parish Federated Church, South Berwick, Maine E8

A view of the First Parish Federated Church in South Berwick, Maine. It is located on 150 Main Street and is still active in 2022. The history of the church is detailed on it's website: "In 1929 the First Parish Congregational Church, originally organized in 1702 in the Old Fields part of South Berwick, merged with the Methodist Episcopal Church, organized in 1836 at Main and Park Streets, to form the First Parish Federated Church. The Methodist meetinghouse across Main Street was torn down. The current meetinghouse was built in 1826 and was originally one story tall, with three front doors, and situated much closer to Main Street. It was remodeled in 1880, 1963 and 1993. It was the place of worship of the family of author Sarah Orne Jewett and many other South Berwick citizens. This building is part of the South Berwick Village District on the National Register of Historic Places." -- https://www.fpfcme.org/ourhistory.html
