First Universalist Church (1886, renovated 1933; James Evans, original architect; Jackson, Robertson and Adams, architects of renovation):A tall , white, 1-story, end-gable-roof, clapboard covered neo-Classical building set on a 'high foundation a half story above grade. A 1 story, gable-roof entrance vestibule projects from the south side of the front pavilion, and there is a triangular window in the pediment. Built in 1886, this was originally an exuberant Queen Anne/Carpenter Gothic edifice with a 1-story, shed-roof frontal projection and a bulky front corner tower. In 1933 Austin T. Levy offered to subsidize renovation of the building providing the work was done to his specifications. At that time the corner tower and Victorian detailing were removed, the front projection was altered into the present pedimented pavilion, a new ridgetop steeple and neo-Classical detailing were added, and the entire structure was painted white. The renovation was consonant with Levy's scheme to transform Harrisville into an architecturally cohesive "Colonial" New England village. Source: ( visit link)
