Description
The Globe Congregational Church was established in Woonsocket in 1834. Originally, services were held in private homes or in the schoolhouse of the Dexter Ballou Mill. It was not until 1843 that a church was constructed on the corner of South Main Street and Pleasant Streets in Globe Mill Village. This building was destroyed by fire in 1904. Fortunately, the church had already moved to a new house of worship at the corner of South Main and Providence Streets. This building currently serves the parish of the St. James Baptist Church.
