Brick Church for the Performing Arts

The church was built and organized by town residents circa 1850.  The building was used for more than a century as a place of worship.   The evolution of this church is reflective of the evolution of many churches throughout Maine.   After the merging of two local churches, the need for this church grew less important and the building gradually deteriorated.   

The Lovell United Church of Christ was devoted to the building, but could no longer afford the maintenance and therefore, considered selling the building to preservation minded people.   It was the potential sale of the property that prompted  a group of Lovell residents to discuss various ideas for making the historic building useful and functional. 

This opportunity, in conjunction with the need of the town to have more multi-functional space, gave birth to the creation of a nonprofit group to provide the framework for the future.

The structure is a classically proportioned, single-gable building containing its original massive, double hung windows that allow light to fill the open space within.
