DescriptionName: First Congregational Church Location: 609 S. Myrtle
Year Built: 1948
Architectural Style: Colonial Revival
This complex is the oldest church congregation on same site in Tempe. The original church building was constructed in 1898, while the present building was constructed in 1953. Prior Hall may have been constructed c. 1948.
This building represents the typical style for many of the church buildings found in this area of Tempe. Simplicity in detailing and smaller-scaled massing are the typical character-defining elements for churches in Tempe. The modern alterations to the historic hall at the south portion of the building are sensitive to the character and detailing of the original features. This building provides a positive contribution to the area and is a prominent building.
