Profiles

The Avon Congregational Church is a Congregational Church building at the junction of U.S. 202 and U.S. 44 in Avon, Connecticut. It was designed by architect David Hoadley and was built in 1819. It is a two-story rectangular wood-frame structure, with a projecting entry section and a multistage tower with steeple. The projecting section consists of three bays, separated by two-story Doric pilasters, with an entry and window above in each bay. It is topped by a fully pedimented modillioned gable. The church is one of Hoadley's finest works, showing evidence of influence by the works of Charles Bulfinch.

The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
