Built in 1816,[3] the Unitarian Church (formerly known as the The Brick Meeting House) is the oldest remaining place of worship established by white settlers in Burlington, Vermont.[4] It is located along the northern side of the intersection of Pearl Street and the Church Street Marketplace.
The building is a contributing property of the "Head of Church Street" Historic District, in combination with the Masonic Temple (built in 1897) and the Richardson Building. The historic district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 15, 1974.[5]
The Unitarian Church is home to the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Burlington, Vermont, which is a member congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Association and Northern New England District.[6]
