The new Conant Memorial Congregational Church that Hezekiah Conant built for Dudley in 1890–1891 was the largest and most elaborate of his buildings on Dudley Hill. The basic footprint of the church was meant as a Latin cross, with the addition of a carriage porch, sixteen feet square, set at an angle to the church’s southeast door.

The “audience room” of the church measured 44 by 51 feet and soared to 34 feet high in the center. The pews were designed to accommodate 300 people on the main floor and 85 more in the gallery. The basement level included a large Sunday school room, kitchen, classrooms, and a furnace and coal room.
