Property Description
Purchased in 1964 from Turner and Cook by artist Richard Bove, and originally built as a non denominational structure, this property is an example of formal simplicity. The building has an authentic and unpretentious character, and is approachable and welcoming. It upholds the traditional New England concept of frugality of construction and locally sourced materials, with maple floors and chestnut beams. Set in the village center, with 11 acres of land stretching back to the Umpachene River, this property combines history, rural character, community, and is an updated architectural treasure.

Supplements
Rebuilt framing, windows, bell tower with working bell, and new roof. Interior and exterior walls repainted and refinished. In addition to the main space, there is a music room, dining room, three season porch, enclosed bedroom, and choir loft. There are two working septic systems, updated electric, and town water. Acreage is a combination of open lawn, woods, and creek, with frontage on the River Road. Part of the New England meeting house tradition, where there was relief from architectural and liturgical conventions, this Southfield church embodies the builder's intent; to leave room for self expression, collective aspirations, and finding one's own voice in community.
