On April 28, 1909, the North Congregational Society (1768), Whitefield Church (1850), and Prospect Church (1793) united as one congregaton to form Central Congregational Church.
The congregation established a committee to prepare the new building. The old building was demolished. A crowd gathered in Brown Square to watch the removal of the steeple. Construction began on the new brick building.
The congregation purchased land on a private way (today’s Titcomb Street). They built the first building facing the river. It was made of wood with a steeple.
