Founded in 2002, it is located at 377 Park Avenue in the city's west end, in a former Congregational Church built in 1926.

The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architecture and association with its former congregation, whose history dates to the 17th century.

The center's building is a locally notable example of Colonial Revival architecture, and was one of the last churches built in the city before the advent of the Great Depression.

The building is a two-story brick structure, with a symmetrical facade facing State Street.

The three-bay facade has a projecting cast stone portico which has fluted columns and pilasters rising to a decorative frieze and pediment with sunburst pattern.
