[2] The Town Hall, the Congregational Church, a former chapel (now a gallery), the parsonage and the former house of Eleazor Wheelock (c. 1736) are located around the Green.

This intersection is dominated visually by the modern St. Columbia Catholic Church (1953), a brick building with a tall spire.

[3] Around the green are various civic and religious institutions of the town of Columbia, as well as residences dating from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries.

Some of the more notable buildings in the area are the Eleazor Wheelock House, the Indian Charity School, the Congregational Church, and the Landmark Inn.

The Landmark Inn is where General Rochambeau's officers were accommodated as they scouted the route to be taken by the French troops in their famous march from Newport, Rhode Island, to Yorktown, Virginia, during the Revolutionary War.
