First Congregational Church of Blandford

The First Congregational Church of Blandford (also known locally as the White Church) is a historic church building on North Street in the center of Blandford, Massachusetts. The church was built in 1822 by local builder Isaac Damon, based on designs he had seen by Charles Bulfinch and Asher Benjamin. The church's pulpit was originally placed near the door, so that late arrivals would face the congregation. During renovations this was reversed, placing the pulpit at the back of the building. In the 1990s the church was restored and acquired by the Blandford Historical Society. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
