First Congregational Church (also known as Metropolitan Community Church of the Rockies) is a historic church in Denver, Colorado. Its church building was added to the National Register in 1987.[1]
The First Congregational Church of Denver was organized in 1864. After several moves and expansion, the church determined in 1905 that it needed to construct a new building, and purchased four lots at 10th Avenue and Clarkson Street for $5,000. The sanctuary was built in 1907 and a fellowship hall wing was completed in 1910.[2]
The sanctuary is essentially cubical and has a three-story corner bell tower. With the added social hall wing, the church is 64 by 108 feet (20 m × 33 m) in plan.[2] It was designed by Robert S. RoeschlaubRoeschlaub & Son in what its National Registration nomination terms "Lombardic Revival" style, i.e. its design was inspired by 7th and 8th century Italian Lombard style.[2]
