Description:
Built 1841-42.
Like the two churches at Plainfield, the former Congregational Church at Cornish Center suggests the influence of Ammi Burnham Young (1798-1874), who was born in Lebanon and designed other Greek Revival buildings for Kimball Union Academy at Meriden and Dartmouth College at Hanover. All three churches appear to have been constructed by local builder Col. Charles Egglestone (1787-1858), who worked in the Cornish-Windsor area.
