\"Congregational<\/center><\/p>\n

In 1824 plans were made to build a new meeting house<\/a> by the Stockbridge Congregational Church. The location of the building was a point of contention between members of the congregation. Although it was eventually built near the site of the community’s first meeting house, church members living in the north section of town, known as Curtisville (named for the mill complex erected by Stephen Curtis<\/a>), felt that the distance was too far to travel. In 1825, after much debate, it was decided to let a new Congregational Society<\/a> be formed in Curtisville. The North Congregational Society<\/a> met in the Red School House on Larrywaug Crossroads until its own church, also on Larrywaug Crossroad, was dedicated on January 10, 1827. The building was used until 1834 when it was taken down and and rebuilt at its present site at 6 Willard Hill Road<\/a>. Curtisville later became known as Interlaken<\/a> and the church as the Congregational Church of Interlaken A brick edifice<\/a>, it was in use as a church until 2002, when declining membership led to the congregation’s sale of the building<\/a>. It was converted into the second home of a New York architect. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
