About this postcard

A Gothic Revival stone church with a tall, pinnacled corner tower and pointed-arch windows stands among bare deciduous trees, photographed from the street. The Unitarian Memorial Church in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, was built between 1901 and 1904 to designs by architect Charles Brigham, paid for by industrialist Henry Huttleston Rogers as a memorial to his mother, Mary Huttleston Rogers. It remains an active Unitarian Universalist congregation and a landmark of the town's Rogers-funded civic buildings.
