congregation had been meeting in simple quarters nearby. They were a
dedicated, community-minded group and are credited with having founded the first secondary school in the area, the Williamsville Classical Institute.
In 1976, following a decline in congregation, the building was turned over to the Village of Williamsville for community use and for preservation.
The Meeting House is sometimes used as a community theater, and has an annual season, usually consisting of a couple plays and a musical.
The Meeting House, named to the National Register of Historic Places, is a well designed structure belonging to the Village's people. This historic building features a rose window facing Main Street. The large rose window and the church's twelve arched and arcaded windows contain three kinds of glass: the original stenciled glass, pebble glass, and newer leaded glass.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
