The Northwood Congregational Church is a historic church on US 4 in Northwood, New Hampshire. The Greek Revival wood frame building was built in 1840, and is one of the finest and least-altered Greek Revival churches in the state. Its main facade is built to resemble a class Greek temple front, with four fluted columns supporting a full triangular pediment, above a recessed entry. The tympanum of the pediment is flushboarded. The entry facade has two doorways, each flanked by pilasters which stand behind the columns of the facade. The church is topped by a three-stage tower with an 1888 bell.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
