The buildings extend west behind the present church at State and William Sts. to Maynard St. The hall contains educational and social facilities. The former Pilgrim Hall, in an old house facing William St., was torn down to make way for the new, modern facilities. The buildings were designed by Prof. Ralph W. Hammett.

Symbolic of the beginnings of Congregationalism with the Pilgrims are the stained glass windows in the new First Congregational parish hall. The John and Priscilla Alden window (above) is visible across the lobby. Other windows in Pilgrim Hall trace the coming of the Pilgrims from England to America.
