Farmington Youth Centre, 23 School Street |
|
|
Adjacent to the Carnegie Library building in Farmington is a cobblestone church
(23 School Street) built in 1926 by the Methodist Ecclesiastical Society and constructed by builder John
E.Knibbs (1872-1972). The building was used as a church from 1926 until 1967, when the congregation built a new church in Avon. The building’s original stained glass windows were removed and installed in the new church. Unique in style, the building features a T-shaped plan with a parapet false front. |

Certain details give the building an Arts and Crafts style, such as the cobblestone surfacing, gable extensions, and open arch on the parapet peak in which originally rested a bell donated by Fred
Broadbent, local manufacturer.
The building is now owned by the Town of Farmington and is used as Farmington Youth Center. The smaller inset image is the same building in December, 2019 |
