Built in 1832, the Center Meeting House appears to be inspired by Asher Benjamin’s designs for Federal period religious buildings. Its construction was financed by the First Toleration Society, which wanted a place where all denominations could meet. Conservative architectural details combined with newer framing techniques created a skillfully designed and built rural interpretation of a high-style building. Its reverse pulpit plan, placing the pulpit between two doors at the front of the building instead of the rear, is notable and a rare surviving detail.
