The present building, the congregation's fourth, was built in 1807, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.

The First Church of Christ, located in downtown Hartford at the corner of Main and Gold Streets, is a prominent local example of Classical Revival architecture.

Daniel Wadsworth probably designed it, loosely following the example of architect James Gibbs's church of Saint Martin in the Fields in London.

The Ancient Burying Ground extends west and north of the church and features a variety of stones made from many different carvers out of different materials such as brownstone, schist, slate and marble.

The church meeting house and cemetery were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
