The Avon Congregational Church is a Congregational Church building at the junction of U.S. 202 and U.S. 44 in Avon, Connecticut. It was designed by architect David Hoadley and was built in 1819. It is a two-story rectangular wood-frame structure, with a projecting entry section and a multistage tower with steeple. The projecting section consists of three bays, separated by two-story Doric pilasters, with an entry and window above in each bay. It is topped by a fully pedimented modillioned gable. The church is one of Hoadley's finest works, showing evidence of influence by the works of Charles Bulfinch.[2]
The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1]
