Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Front facade of the First Congregational Church of Hancock, c1820. Viewed from the town common, Main Street. Centerpiece of the Hancock Village Historic District. Hancock, NH. Taken from the nominating papers of the Hancock Historic Commission, Hancock, Hillsborough, NH who applied for and were granted acceptance to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. This work is the work of a very special committee of Hancock residents. The main street and the town common areas are now designated the Hancock Village Historic District. (please use the above source when quoting) "Jacob Ames's work can be seen in the Hancock Meetinghouse of 1820, which he built with Samuel Kilburn of Fitzwilliam. Closely modeled after earlier churches in Dublin and Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire and Templeton, Massachusetts, the Meetinghouse is one of the best Federal style churches in New Hampshire. Graced by fine architectural details (monumental pilasters, elaborate cornices and entablatures, moulded frames and arches, oval and Palladian windows, paneled cornerboards, railings, and finely carved ornament), the Meetinghouse has an impressive form, with a 2-1/2-story main block, a 2-story pedimented entry pavilion, and a tall 4-stage steeple. The Meetinghouse, which dominates the Common, is, without question, the finest building in the village. The Federal style continued to influence buildings into the 1820's and 1830's." |
