Bristol Congregational Church

Bristol Congregational Church, also known as the Chapel on the Green, is a historic church located at 107 W. Center Street in Yorkville, Illinois. The Congregational church was built in 1855 for a congregation which formed in the 1830s. The church's design came from a pattern book and includes eleme

nts of both the Greek Revival and Carpenter Gothic styles. The church's structure, which includes a bell tower, pediment, and symmetrical windows, is typical of Greek Revival churches. Its Carpenter Gothic elements are mainly decorative and include ornamental wooden trim and a finial. The church is the only remaining 19th-century church in Yorkville and its oldest non-residential building of any sort. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 6, 2016.
