First Unitarian Church (Lawrence, MA)

 

The Unitarian Church (also called the Unitarian Society) was organized November 15, 1847.  The first meetings were held in the Odd Fellows Hall on Hampshire Street and later in a chapel created for that purpose.  The wooden structure at the southeast corner of Haverhill and Jackson streets was dedicated in May of 1850.  The church was torn down in 1916 and was replaced by a much smaller structure.  Ultimately the Unitarian and Universalist Churches merged.  This congregation moved to North Andover.
