Meeting House Corner
This park is the site of the first three meeting houses of the First Church of Christ, Congregational, organized in 1713. The parish of the west Division (West Hartford), the fourth in Hartford, was established in 1711. The first meeting house, used for both civic and religious functios, probably was erected in 1712. The second, erected in 1742-1744 on land given by Timothy Goodman, was a typical New England meeting house with a tower and a spire. The third, built in 1834 on land bought from Thomas Brace, resembled a Greek temple with a columned porch and a three-story belfry. It became the town hall when the fourth meeting house was built in 1881 at the southeast corner of Farmington Avenue and Main Street, near the location of the present (fifth) church building.
