Front - Title/Description
Clare Congregational Church
Saginaw architect William T. Cooper designed this
church in a Greek-cross plan. The church, built in
1909, is one of only a few in Michigan that reflect
how early twentieth-century Protestants adopted
the architecture of fifth- and sixth-century Early
Christian central plan churches. The semicircular,
auditorium-like sanctuary is embellished with
patterns from European-designed stencils. The
church’s stained glass windows decorated the
original 1874 church.
