Also known as the Meeting House, this structure is a historic Disciples of Christ church located at Williamsville in Erie County, New York. It is a 2+1⁄2-story brick Italianate-style structure constructed in 1871 and remodeled in about 1900.^[2]

Organized some forty years earlier, the evangelical congregation had been meeting in simple quarters nearby. They were a dedicated, community-minded group and are credited with having founded the first secondary school in the area, the Williamsville Classical Institute.

In 1976, Following a decline in congregation, the building was turned over to the Village of Williamsville for community use and for preservation.

This historic building features a rose window facing Main Street. This window and the twelve arched and arcaded windows of the church contain three kinds of glass, the original stenciled glass, pebble glass, and newer leaded glass.^[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.^[1]
