Date

[edit]

Is it the meeting house itself or the congregation that was founded in 1684? Is there a better source for the date of the building than the short notice in Genealogy Magazine? What is the source for John Hinckley as architect and the terms "Colonial, Greek Revival," and "Italianate" in the infobox? This is an interesting stub. Please consider expanding it and submitting it to Wikipedia:Did you know. Aramgar (talk) 22:23, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • The Congregation dates to 1670 or earlier originating with Rev. Bourne I believe. The building was constructed in 1684. The infobox was generated from the National Park Service listing information. Swampyank (talk) 14:09, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • There is no evidence of such an early date of construction. The building appears to date from the 19th century, though of course it is possible that the structure contains earlier elements. A citation from a reliable source is needed for inclusion on this list; architectural historian, physical evidence, historic structures report, and dendrochronology are examples of reliable sources for a date of construction.Old houses (talk) 17:56, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
