This Shingle-style church buildingon Lynde Street in Salem, Massachusetts, was built in 1897 as a satellite chapel for theFirst Congregational Society in Salem. The chapel wasconstructed from designsby the Boston-based architectEdward B. Stratton. From 1908 to 1979, the building was owned by the Christian Science Church and was eventually sold to private ownership in 1979, where it has since been home to theWitch Dungeon Museum. The building has retained much of its original design, including the large Gothic sanctuary window, tower, and decorative trusses at the gable. Sadly, the original shingles have been replaced by later siding.
