Windsor Avenue Congregational Church

Windsor Avenue Congregational Church is the historic name for a brick Romanesque Revival style church building built around 1872 and located at 2030 Main Street, Hartford, Connecticut.

The current congregation is Faith Congregational Church, which has been at this location since Talcott Street Congregational Church merged with Mother Bethel Methodist Church in 1953 to become Faith Congregational Church.

Since its founding in 1819 Talcott Street Congregational Church has a history as an early African American church. The church is a stop on the Connecticut Freedom Trail and is listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places (1993).

Famous quotes containing the words avenue and/or church:

    “I hate to do what everybody else is doing. Why, only last week, on Fifth Avenue and some cross streets, I noticed that every feminine citizen of these United States wore an artificial posy on her coat or gown. I came home and ripped off every one of the really lovely refrigerator blossoms that were sewn on my own bodices.”
    —Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)

    “I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish Church, by the Roman Church, by the Greek Church, by the Turkish Church, by the Protestant Church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.”
    —Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
