The church building was built in 1913-14 using parts of an older Greek Revival church, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for its architecture and role in local historical preservation efforts.

[1][2] The Fourth Congregational Church building is located in Hartford's north side Clay-Arsenal neighborhood, at the northwest corner of Vine Street and Albany Avenue (United States Route 44).

It is a single-story brick building, with a gabled roof trimmed in wood, and a concrete foundation.

It is set at an angle and on a rise on its lot, giving it visual prominence over the local streetscape.

A multi-stage tower with clock and bell stages rises to an octagonal spire.
