Amherst (Mass.)

This building is the third meetinghouse constructed by the First Congregational Church of Amherst. First Church removed the east portico of this building in 1861, as shown in this photograph. Amherst College bought this building in 1867, and renamed it College Hall. The east portico was restored by the College in 1905. The building still stands at the corner of South Pleasant Street and Northampton Road. Emily Dickinson and her family went to church here.
