As related in A Modern History of New London County, Connecticut, Volume 1 (1922), during the pastorate of Rev. Malcolm McGregor Dana at the Second Congregational Church of Norwich:
The feeling that its helpfulness to the community would be increased by removal to the suburban district near the Academy led to marked differences of opinion with the majority of his parishioners, and in 1874 Dr. Dana resigned and, with one hundred and five of his old members, formed the Park Congregational Church.
The church, built in 1874, was designed by Stephen C. Earle of Worcester in the Romanesque Revival style.

This church looks like a copy of the North Cong church in Springfield.
That’s right, the architect did indeed model this church on Richardson’s North Congregational Church in Springfield!
It was 53 years ago today, 1:00 pm, on a warm sunny day that Dave & I were married here in Park Congregational Church. My father-in-law was a Deacon.
is the church handicap accessible?
