A downtown Andover church, Christ Church has some really lovely features. In fact, it reminds me of the style used in the building of the Woburn Public Library with the hand chiseled sandstone in cream and a reddish brown. This church was built on the site where the original old wooden church burned to the ground. The present building was consecrated January 4, 1887. Originally an Episcopal Church it became a community church to serve the residents of the Shawsheen Village. Like many places in Colonial parts of New England it has a fascinating history.
Who cannot love the ornate Roman arch with the highly detailed ironwork on the red door?
Even the small side door is exquisitely detailed.
