St. Thomas Church
300 Somerville Avenue
Somerville, Mass.
Year Built: 1916
Brigham, Coveney and Bisbee designed a transept and chancel for this church in 1916. During the 1960s, the congregation dissolved, and since then the building has housed a nursery school, Haitian and Hispanic religious communities, and different nonprofit agencies. It is currently the Foursquare Church. The original church is wood but the addition appears to be stone or brick and a full story taller than the original portion of the structure.
