The present church edifice, which stands near the junction of the old 

 Boston turnpike and the Boston Boulevard at the western entrance to 

 the village, is constructed of stone (obtained from boulders on the 

 Smith farm) in the Gothic style. It was erected in 1 860-1, at a cost 

 of $15,000. The tower, which is finished with a spire, cost $2,000. 

 Beneath the foundation of the latter was deposited, by Dr. Albert 

 Smith, the door-step of the old Reformed French church, erected in 

 1697. The whole structure consists of a nave, two side-aisles, tower 

 and lecture-room. The old church was converted into a parsonage in 

 i860 and removed to a site directly north-west of the present edifice 

 given by Albert Smith, M.D., who also improved it and presented the 

 whole as a free gift to the corporation.
