    Description

    Full exterior view of Stroudwater Baptist Church, 1729 Congress Street, from east. The parish's history is connected to the Temperance Movement (Neal Dow, Fred Dow, and Lillian M. N. Stevens). A congregation began meeting at the site in 1875, the church was built in 1882, and remodeled in 1908.
    (A southwest view of the church, taken in 1967, can be seen at this link.)
