""The beautiful white church...symbolizes the devout spirit of the New England Puritans who celebrated the first Thanksgiving.... New Englanders have always carried with them their faith in God and their belief that Americans should be humbly grateful for the good things they enjoy.
-- Life Magazine
20 November 1944
A Tallmadge committee of seven men developed plans for building the church in 1819 and appointed one of their members, Lemuel Porter, as the architect and builder. Tallmadge Church raising began in July of 1822 It was dedicated on September 8, 1825.
Reflecting Porter's design, the wood, brace-framed church features a Greek Revival portico, supported by four large columns, and a dominant one-hundred-foot-high steeple with a weathervane. The main building measured 44-feet wide by 56-feet long.
