There is likely nothing that screams “New England architecture” more than the wooden white-painted church, I think every village in New England has at least one! This vernacular Greek Revival style church is the First Baptist Church of Brooklin, right in the center of the charming coastal town of Brooklin, Maine. The building was constructed in 1853 and is a great example of local vernacular Greek Revival architecture. The temple-front with pilasters, multi-staged belfry, and paired entry doors are a common sight in churches of the mid 19th century.
