First Congregational Church
Westfield, Union County

Westfield's Congregational church is a traditional New England building, quite fitting for a Puritan—the origin of the Congregational church—structure. The full portico and multi-tiered tower incorporated a belfry and lantern (or clock) as well as a tall spire. The church was built in 1830.
