136 Main Street
Meriden Connecticut

Description:

Built in 1870, this gable-roofed Romanesque Revival, 22,856 square foot, historic brownstone was designed by Henry Dudley of New York, known for Gothic Revival churches. Eagerly awaiting an outside-the-box thinker to recreate a new identity, this building has endless possibilities. Bring your own congregation and maintain its current use, or new opportunities await for a wedding venue, event space, beer hall, performance venue, retail space, municipal or medical offices, apartments and more! Move-in ready, this property features a bell tower, pews, stained glass windows, 1966 Austin pipe organ, full commercial kitchen, locked side entrance with offices, and several other room spaces. Typically associated with classical architectural styles, the Sanctuary is complete with custom architectural woodwork, arched beams and decorative iron supporting structures adding comfort and elegance. Neighboring are other similar brownstone landmarks including the Meriden Board of Ed, Town Hall, Holy Word Foundation, the Amtrak station, and the Meriden Town Green. Meticulous care is evident over the years with a new slate roof, preventative maintenance records, new sidewalks and waterproofing as a testament of the care and devotion to its rich history. A visit is a must to visualize and create new ideas for this space.
