The former Seal Harbor Congregational Church is a historic church building on Peabody Drive ( Maine State Route 3) in Seal Harbor, Maine. It was built in 1902, and is an elegant expression of the Shingle style in a seasonal church building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985; it is now vacant.
The former Seal Harbor Congregational Church is set on the southwest corner of Peabody Drive and Dodge Point Road. The two-story stone and wood building is set facing northeast, toward the junction. It has a gabled roof that descends to the top of the first floor, with large brackets at the sides. The high foundation is of squared quarry-faced stone, and the main floors are finished in wooden shingles, with a belt course separating the floors. The entrance, at the center of the main facade, is set back under a round stone arch that rises from the foundation, and is topped by a curved portico-like roof section. Single windows flank the entrance outside the arch. The second floor windows, a band of four windows, are sheltered by a rounded continuation of the main roof. The windows used in the building are all diamond-paned casement windows. [2]
The church was built in 1902 to provide worship services to the area's summer population; its architect was Grosvenor Atterbury. [3] The church was closed when a year-round church was built in Seal Harbor village, and was rescued from demolition by a local summer resident. [2]
