Built in 1866, AHCC is the only Gothic Congregational Church in Greater Hartford; its general outline follows the structure of 14th and 15th century English churches, with details borrowed from the great English cathedrals. The exterior of the church is sheathed in brownstone from nearby Portland, CT. The church is noted for its outstanding memorial stained glass windows in the main sanctuary and its magnificent pipe organ.
Designed by Patrick Keely.
When Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) lived in Connecticut, this was his church.
