The Union Meeting House in the Washington County town of Whiting is a locally rare example of a once-common type of nineteenth-century New England religious architecture. Erected in 1836, this symmetrically composed, timber frame building exhibits the proportions, features and composition of a Federal-style meeting house, but also has a prominent Greek-Revival style closed pediment on the fa?ade. Erected to serve both the Congregational and Methodist-Episcopal societies, the building is now the only church in this small, rural town. As the membership in the congregations ebbed and flowed, the church received periodic stylistic updates, including the addition of a belfry and an interior renovation that included tin walls and ceilings and new pews, most likely in the late nineteenth-century. The Union Meeting House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places for its local architectural significance, as a good example of rural church architecture from the second quarter of the nineteenth-century. Significant years in the church history reflect when it was erected, 1836, and the year in which the belfry was added and the interior remodeled, 1904.
